 Sweet as Honey

September has arrived, bringing with it the sweetness of apples, honey, and the gentle shift into fall. On the farm, everything is buzzing with activity, from butterflies drifting across the fields to bees working hard to prepare their hives for winter.

Here’s what’s happening this month at Bee Inspired:


🍯 
Honey Is a Gift from Nature

Every jar we harvest is a reminder that honey is one of nature’s purest gifts. Explore our honey gifts, perfect for sharing sweetness with someone special this season.

🥄 Substitute Honey for Sugar

Did you know honey can often be swapped for sugar in your favorite recipes? It’s a simple way to add richness and natural sweetness. Check out our guide to substituting honey for sugar to get started.

🍎 Apples and Honey for a Sweet New Year

Rosh Hashanah is just around the corner, and the tradition of dipping apples in honey is as meaningful as ever. This year, we’re excited to feature our new Apples and Honey Lollipops, a playful and delicious way to celebrate the holiday and spread sweetness.

🌗 The Fall Equinox

Later this month, the Fall Equinox marks the official shift into autumn. Just like nature, we’re leaning into balance, abundance, and preparation for the colder months ahead.

🐝 Life on the Farm

Right now, our bees are gathering their winter stores of honey while butterflies are everywhere across the farm. Soon, we’ll begin insulating the hives with “cozies” to keep them warm and protected through the winter. You can read more about the rhythms of Eastern Shore life in this story.

📦 Shipping Reminder for Rosh Hashanah

If you’re ordering honey gifts for Rosh Hashanah, don’t wait! Ground shipping can take up to 7 business days coast-to-coast. To be safe, order by September 14th for West Coast delivery and by September 17th for East Coast delivery.

Here’s to a season filled with balance, abundance, and plenty of sweetness.

 

With love + gratitude,
