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. Our honey helps you fight off allergies.

  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.
