Buying Local from Beezy Beez Honey: Buy in Staten Island - Raw Honey That is Homegrown

Buying Local from Beezy Beez Honey: Buy in Staten Island - Raw Honey That is Homegrown

Buy Local. Buy Fresh. Buy Flavor!

Freshness and flavor are just two of the things that make buying local a pleasant experience of learning and enthusiasm. In fact, when you buy local, such as Beezy Beez Raw Honey, you can get a taste of local flavors fused by the hardest working bees and local pollen that's been cared for throughout growing season. When you visit http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/  or the Beezy Beez store and Sweetbrook Wholesale Nursery and Garden Center in Staten Island, the raw, unprocessed and all natural honey is available for you to purchase, and comes in many different flavors. Beezy Beez Honey and beeswax is also found in our natural soaps and skincare collection, from pain management, skin creams, and lip balms. At Beezy Beez, you can definitely find what you're looking for, even with our help. Our staff is well trained and team together to give you a welcoming experience inside and outside our store.

The quality and taste of New York's Beezy Beez Raw Honey is unmatched. Sure, while there are many brands such as the honey in the bear shaped jar, there is no other honey like Beezy Beez, since Beezy Beez is one of a kind. With a best seller such as its Wildflower Honey, Beezy Beez Honey has a pure taste that melts in your melt, giving you the signature thickness that honey is known for. Raw honey has a unique flavor that tastes like freshness, without a trace of a flavor that may remind one of eating something sugary. 

There are a lot of ways to enjoy raw honey, including:

-Drizzle it on breakfast, spread it on toast, muffins, croissants, and breads.

-Make a new salad dressing! Adding honey as a salad dressing will make eating vegetables sweeter, and perhaps help you grow into liking new flavors.

-Honey tastes good on cheese! Pair it with brie, aged cheddar, and goat cheese.

-Glaze your holiday ham or turkey.

Small Businesses have Large Impact on Community Growth

Supporting the local economy in Staten Island is another benefit to buying locally. With New York City being a large cultural melting pot, there is a lot to love about each borough, with its own unique flavors. Beezy Beez is homegrown in Staten Island, which is home to many small businesses and startup companies. 

Buying local also reduces environmental damage, and encourages sustainability. Local honey is made from bees that rely on honey making to help their colony survive. As honey making is a survival skill for the worker bee population, it is also their way of giving to the humans who raise the bees. The bees work hard to give us a treat as tasty as Beezy Beez! 

Beezy Beez has a Full Menu and More Than Honey

We do more than just honey at Beezy Beez. We also have a coffee shop and brew lounge where you can come in and enjoy many of our coffees, signature drinks, tea, and products. You can check out the latest in honey, try our Hott Honey (that everyone is loving!), updates to our ever-growing menu, and shop for all of your skincare and dietary needs.

Try this Spinach and Apple salad with New York Raw Honey! Get Your Greens In With Beezy Beez!

Beezy Beez Honey tastes good on a lot of things- and makes vegetables taste even better! With this easy to prepare "Fruit and a Veggie" Spinach Salad, you can get your greens while enjoying Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. To maintain a healthy lifestyle , it often takes a lot of commitment and preparation to meal planning. Fruits and vegetables are the energy that keeps humans healthy, and while many vegetables have a bitter taste that several reject, raw and crunchy vegetables can be a great alternative to consuming nutritious food if you just can't stomach the flavor of wet, mushy, cooked greens. This recipe has a lot to offer, and makes a great appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course! 

Eating greens doesn't have to be dreadful, and by finding something you enjoy, it will become easier to adjust to new flavors. Spinach is one of the vegetables I enjoy the most, and while I can only enjoy it cooked if it's tucked into cheesy scrambled eggs (Yes, I put cheese on EVERYTHING!) I really do love raw spinach leaves prepared as a salad, and with raw spinach being a darker and even more healthier substitute for romaine lettuce, its freshness is retained by buying the freshest bag of spinach available at your go-to grocery store or farmer's market, and washing the leaves in water lightly, good enough to clean them from any dirt that may have gotten lost during the harvesting process. Too much water can cause the spinach to lose its crunchy texture, and the crunch is one of the best parts of eating this salad featuring Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey!

There are also many benefits to eating spinach, including Iron, Fiber, Antioxidants, Cancer prevention, and Vitamins K, A, and C.

To make this special salad, you will need:

1 salad bowl

1 bag of spinach, uncooked

1 apple, cut into cubes or small bite size pieces

1 container of almonds (skip this if you have nut allergies)

1 bag of cranberry raisins- also known as "craisins"

1 Jar or Tube of Beezy Beez Honey, which you can buy here or in our store: https://bzbwholesale.com/collections/100-raw-local-honey

2 drops of Balsamic vinegar, to add more flavor if you like dressing.

To prepare your salad, add the bag of raw spinach leaves into a salad bowl. Then, toss leaves using tongs or a large spoon. Once your leaves are placed, cut up an apple into bite size pieces or slices, and mix into the leaves. Add 1 cup of almonds and spread among the leaves and apples, then add craisins and do the same. When each of the main ingredients are in, consider using 2 small drops of Balsamic vinegar if you like salad dressing. Finally, on top of everything, add the Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey on the leaves and apples. You now have a crunchy and nutritious green salad, with fruits and nuts to compliment the flavor of healthy eating. 

Beezy Beez Honey is made unfiltered and unprocessed, raw and refreshing from the hives in Staten Island, New York and the Garden State Parkway area of New Jersey, Beezy Beez Honey has a healthy, farm to table quality that many store bought brands lack. Much similar to spinach, Beezy Beez is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, providing nutrients. For only $16.99, you can buy a 2 Lb bottle of our delicious, 100% raw local honey here https://bzbwholesale.com/collections/100-raw-local-honey/products/2lb-nyc-nj-raw-honey, packed with vitamins and minerals, and flavor- have we mentioned flavor? Beezy Beez Honey has a thick flavor and texture, and comes out of its bottle slowly. Raw Honey is available in Wildflower and Clover flavors, with a tiny hint of floral taste and scent. 

Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey has a talent for making food taste great! http://www.newyorkrawhoney.com/ is the spot for ordering all of our Honey products, including CBD-infused honey and our special skin care essentials such as soap and lip balm. Eating vegetables by adding Beezy Beez will help you enjoy vegetables more often, even when they are not the most appetizing food in the pyramid! I know I enjoyed this healthy salad a lot, and hope you will as well. Food is the greatest source of energy, and we do need to make a lot of healthy choices. Keeping busy this winter will not be a problem when you find new recipes to make on those lazy Saturdays, such as this Spinach Salad! It will keep you healthy, and it will keep you beezy!

New York's Finest Raw, Local Honey

Upon the arrival of my order of Beezy Beez and Udderly Delicious products I was really excited to try all that was in my haul, and began noting down every breakfast recipe I could think of, where honey is called for. I opened my bottle of Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, and poured it into a spoon for a taste. The results were something I've never had before, and I definitely felt a lot of health post-taste, when I compared it to another spoon taste of the store bought honey in the bear shaped bottle. 

There was a noticeable difference, for sure. Beezy Beez was the superior honey!

Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey: Buy It, So You Can Try It!

Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey: Buy It, So You Can Try It!

Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, produced and manufactured locally in the New York City borough of Staten Island, is a special kind of honey- unfiltered, unprocessed, and packed with vitamins and minerals! Our raw honey is unlike the commercialized kind that is heavily processed where its nutrients are stripped. Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey consists of thousands of enzymes. Upon entry to the human body, enzymes clean out toxins and can help the stomach with digestion, an issue that many people face when it comes to diet and nutrition. Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey is a healthy honey that puts health first, and flavor second while combining the two to produce a sweet, sticky blend of nature’s best ingredients. 


Sustainability is the main source of our health-focused honey. At our manufacturing warehouse in Staten Island, we create honey from healthy bees that are sustainably raised, and well cared for during every step of the raw honey-making process, making sure that our honey comes straight from the hive. We keep a close eye on our trained beekeepers who work as hard as the bees to make our honey, who we trust to preserve the health and safety of our many bees. Our beekeepers, as busy as they remain during hours of production, give our bees the chance to continue pollinating the environment around us. Pollination is what keeps the lush, green terrain and flora healthy, allowing it to thrive. Without bees, there would be no such thing as a healthy plant or pretty flowers. What this means is simple: When you purchase a jar of Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, you make a good choice that benefits both your health, and the atmosphere. When you protect your health, you also protect the planet. 


There are many benefits to buying Beezy Beez Local Honey as opposed to processed honey:


  1. Your health. I may have told you already, but yes your health will benefit from Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey.

  1. You will be able to help a small business. Plus, buying local food is great for the environment as well as the Staten Island community!

  1. There are a lot of antioxidants in our honey, many of which are found to prevent cancer. 

  1. Healing power: When applied to a burn or a wound, raw honey can be the remedy you just might need.

With so many benefits to this one of a kind honey, Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey should be your first voice if you are shopping for a new honey or just want to try something new. Sustainability is part of our recipe, along with proper care and concern for our bees, and of course, the enzymes and natural aroma that gives our honey its signature taste. Buy a bottle today!

A New Recipe to Try Out This Holiday Season: A Honey Cake With Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey

A New Recipe to Try Out This Holiday Season: A Honey Cake With Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey

As Winter and the holiday season approaches, I can already feel my oven preheating to make another dessert. Making cakes and cookies is a favorite pastime of mine, especially around the holidays. Making something to enjoy, and sharing it with my family and friends, is one of my greatest pleasures in life. To me, there is nothing that brings people together more than a meal can. Food is a way of sharing old and new traditions, as well as an act of kindness. It can help people understand each other, and start new traditions and inspire ideas- even ideas for meal planning during those busy work weeks! I love relaxing on a Saturday night by making a cake to enjoy with a Netflix series, and red velvet is my personal favorite. I do however, love trying new flavors, and have wanted to try making a honey cake from scratch for quite some time since trying a slice in a diner many years ago. 


Thanks to Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey, I can add a special kind of sweetness to this recipe I found while browsing for the recipe that felt like “the perfect one” to make. I found this cake recipe from a baking blog, and substituted the unspecified honey that was listed, with Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. My holiday baking usually begins around after Thanksgiving, and I am excited to try this one this season! Since I’m new to making my own honey cake, I found an easy recipe with a honey glaze that is perfect for beginner chefs. Here are all of the ingredients you will need:


  1. cup (120 g) all purpose flour
  2. ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch
  3. 1½ tsp baking powder
  4. ¼ tsp baking soda
  5. ½ tsp salt
  6. ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  7. ¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter - melted
  8. ¼ cup (52 g) unflavored vegetable oil - I use canola oil
  9. 1½ tsp vanilla extract/essence
  10. 2 large eggs - room temperature
  11. ½ cup (120 g) whole milk
  12. ½ cup (170 g) Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey
  13. ¼ cup (25 g) sliced almonds- *if you want to, but remember you do not have to add almonds. 

Then, to make the glaze for the cake you will need to follow these steps:


  1. 1½ tsps (10 g) honey
  2. 1½ tsps (8 g) unsalted butter

To start cooking, or at least to prepare to start cooking, you must preheat your oven to 180 degrees, and use an 8 x 3 cake pan. Light grease your cake pan, and gently line it with parchment paper. 


In a large mixing bowl, mix together your flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon with a whisk until the mixture is well combined. 


In another large mixing bowl, combine the melts butter, oil, vanilla, and 2 large eggs.


In a small bowl, combine milk with Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. Heat this mixture for 30 seconds in the microwave or stovetop. 


Set each of the three bowls aside.


Add the dry ingredients and the small bowl of honey/milk into the butter/oil/egg mixture. Whisk the dry ingredients and butter/oil/eggs. Then, once they are combined, add in the Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey/Milk mixture. Your cake batter should appear thin.


Then, pour your cake batter into the cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. When taking the cake out of the oven, leave it to cool for 20 minutes before serving.


If you want to make glaze for your cake, combine Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey with unsalted butter, and whisk gently until combined. After whisking the glaze, use a baking brush to place glaze on the cake. You can add as little or as much glaze as you prefer. 


I am looking forward to trying out this new recipe this season! This cake seems like a delicious treat as well as a great addition to any Hanukkah or Christmas gathering. This honey cake might even be a great gift this year for any foodie or just if you want to spread some holiday cheer! Beezy Beez Honey is made in New York and is raw and natural.
