“Elevates honey to an amazing level of sensuality, taste, and health.”

–Kathleen

Kara Brook Brown manages a hundred acres on Maryland's Eastern Shore — the farming, the mowing schedules, the apiary — mostly alone this year, because some seasons ask more of a person than they planned for, and she hasn't stopped once. This honey exists because she decided it should, and she signs every jar the way she signs her paintings: because she made it.

The One Everyone is Obsessed With & Low in Stock

There’s a three-week window in spring when the world decides to show off. Black locust trees, wildflowers, fruit blossoms, lavender—it all explodes at once on Chesterhaven Beach Farm. The bees? They go into overdrive. The honey? It tastes like sunshine and flowers had a love child.

What Makes Our Spring Honey Special?

Single-farm origin: Every jar comes from Chesterhaven Beach Farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore — Kara's bees, Kara's flowers, Kara's harvest. There is no blending, no mystery sourcing, and no filler.
A very short window: Black locust, fruit trees, wildflowers, and lavender don't all bloom at the same time for long. Kara times the harvest to catch that overlap at its peak, which is why the flavor is so concentrated and why the honey may sell out before the season ends.
Floral, not perfume-floral: The flavor is bright and pollen-forward — the kind of floral that tastes like actually being outside in May, not like a candle. Sweet, but with enough complexity to hold its own next to strong cheese or savory food.
Minimally filtered: Nothing is added and as little as possible is removed. Natural pollen, enzymes, and character stay in the jar.
May crystallize over time: That's what real honey does. It's not a flaw — it's a sign. Warm the jar gently in hot water to bring it back to liquid.
Star K Kosher certified: Certified by Star K.
11 oz jar: Packaged in a reusable glass jar.
A Honey Royale: Spring Honey is classified as a Honey Royale — a designation reserved for honeys we can't always get. These are not discounted, ever. When they're available, they're worth it.

Stock up while this season's harvest lasts — once it sells out, the next jar won't come until spring.

How to use: Spring honey's bright, floral character makes it one of the most versatile honeys in the kitchen. Drizzle it over a wedge of aged cheddar or blue cheese, where the sweetness cuts through the funk cleanly. Swirl it into Greek yogurt or fresh ricotta. Use it in a simple vinaigrette — honey, mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar — where the floral notes play well with bitter greens. It's also excellent stirred into chamomile or lavender tea, spread on a warm biscuit or scone, or eaten straight off a spoon, which is probably how most of it ends up going.

Spring Honey - Honey Royale FAQs

What makes Spring Honey different from other honeys?

Spring Honey is a farm honey, not a blended one. Every jar comes from Kara's own hives at Chesterhaven Beach Farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore, harvested during the few weeks each spring when black locust trees, fruit blossoms, wildflowers, and lavender are all in bloom at the same time. That specific combination of nectar (one farm, one season, one set of bees) is what gives Spring Honey its bright, pollen-forward character. It is not something that can be replicated year-round, and it is not something that can be sourced from anywhere else.

What does Spring Honey taste like?

Bright, floral, and pollen-forward in the way that tastes like actually being outside in May rather than like a scented candle. There's real complexity underneath the sweetness, the kind that comes from a multi-floral bloom rather than a single nectar source. The flavor holds its own next to strong cheese or savory food, but it's light enough to drizzle over fresh ricotta without overwhelming it. People who think they don't like floral honey usually mean they don't like perfume. This isn't that.

Is Spring Honey available year-round?

No, and that's the point. Spring Honey is a Honey Royale, harvested once a year during a brief bloom window at the farm. When the current batch sells out, the next jar won't be available until the following spring. Honey Royales are never discounted, because the scarcity is the offer. If Spring Honey has been on your list, the time to act on that is while it's still on the shelf.

What does Spring Honey pair well with?

It works across a wide range of pairings: aged cheddar, blue cheese, and brie on a cheese board; Greek yogurt and fresh ricotta; vinaigrettes built with mustard and red wine vinegar; chamomile or lavender tea; warm scones and biscuits. The floral brightness is distinct enough to show up in recipes where most honeys just taste sweet, which is exactly what makes it earn its place. And eaten straight off a spoon is, honestly, where most jars seem to end up going.

Why is my honey crystallizing, and is it still good?

Crystallization is what raw, minimally filtered honey does. It is not spoilage, not a defect, and not a sign that anything has gone wrong. Most varieties will start to set within a few months, depending on the floral source and the temperature of your kitchen. To return it to a pourable state, place the sealed jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes and stir gently. Skip the microwave, which can scorch the natural enzymes and aromatic compounds that make raw honey worth buying in the first place.

How should I store raw honey?

Keep your honey at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, with the lid screwed on tight. A pantry shelf or cabinet works beautifully. Honey is one of the few foods that does not spoil, so there is no need to refrigerate it. In fact, the cold will speed up crystallization. If your jar does begin to set, that is normal and easily reversed with a warm water bath. Use a clean, dry spoon every time, and your honey will hold its character for years.

This honey is SO good

This honey is SO good. This is the first time I have ordered honey online rather than buying it locally, but as wonderful as this honey is, it won't be the last!

Hi Margie, we're thrilled to hear you love our Spring Honey! Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing us. We look forward to serving you again!

Delicious fresh raw honey!!

I grew up with fresh raw honey and that’s the only kind I’ll purchase for my family. I found Bee Inspired and liked them as a business model and have tried 3 different flavors. They are ALL marvelous. The company is top notch for mailing their honey in packaging that is perfect!
Great honey, Great service, Great company!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Dee! Enjoy! Kara

Delicious and Sweet!

The Spring Honey is one of my favorite varieties because it is light and sweet with a great taste! It tastes great in tea, but I also love eating it straight by itself! I also love that it is produced on the Eastern Shore of Maryland by the owner.

Jaden,
Thank you so much for your positive review of our Spring Honey. The bees on the farm who produce this honey pollinate lots of native wildflowers, apple trees, and lavender to give you that light and sweet taste. It's nice to hear you can enjoy it in multiple ways, even by itself! :D

Exceptional Honey

I wasn't sure what to expect as this was the first time I ordered Fromm Bee Inspired. The Spring Blossom Honey was delicious and great with my teas. The other flavors I ordered were also very tasty and very fresh. I was not disappointed with any of the items I ordered and I would definitely order again. Thank You Bee Inspired for producing such quality products.

Thank you Silvia for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear you love our honey and that you would order from us again. We take in pride in creating quality products so we are thrilled to hear such a positive review. We really appreciate your support!

Fabulous Products

I found Bee Inspired after I moved to MD from LA 10 years ago, after suffering from severe allergies and my doctor recommended that I buy local honey products to cure me. Fast forward, I'm cured and still buying these fabulous honey products in Spring and year-round because they're so effective for consumption and absorption. The Honey is so good, and my skin feels great too thanks to the wonderful body mouse. I don't know what I would without Bee Inspired.

Hello Ms. Kelly,
We are thrilled to hear that our honey has been able to help soothe your allergies and that our body products have been able to keep your skin moisturized! It is our pleasure to provide you with products that improve your quality of life and we really appreciate your support! Thank you for your lovely review.

Best Honey Ever!

This is undoubtedly the best honey I've ever had! The flavor is rich and pure – high-quality! I pair it with the Good Night tea and even put it in my coffee! Highly recommend!

Erika,
We are so glad you enjoy our Spring Honey with our Good Night tea and in your coffee! Thank you for your review!

Delicious!

This is my favorite honey at the moment! So smooth and rich, and goes excellently with my tea.

So glad to hear you enjoy the Spring Honey, Gabrielle! Thank you for your review!

Spring Bouquet

Kara‘s Spring honey is the absolute best! My favorite honey ever! It tastes like what I would imagine eating a bouquet of Spring flowers would taste like! Delicious!

Thanks MBJ. You have always been such an amazing customer and we miss you around here. This year we only got a very small amount of Spring Honey and worry a lot over the fact that by February or March it will likely be out of stock. Hoping the weather will be better next season! Much love, Kara

The Queen of Honey

I love the entire Honey Royale line! Not only is it delicious, but excellent in support of seasonal allergies. Cheers!

Hi Terri,

Thank you so much for your glowing review of our Honey Royale line! We’re thrilled to hear that you love the taste and find it helpful for seasonal allergies. Your support means the world to us.

Cheers,

Spring Honey - Tis the season

I bought this honey to use in my white tea and apple cider drink and was not disappointed. It had the perfect blend of sweetness and smoothness. But I liked it so much I've taken to using it with my green tea as well.

The best honey I've ever had, definitely recommend it!!

Love this honey!

Tastes like I’m in the middle of a meadow!

Thank you Sheri!

Wonderful!

Yes! This honey is wonderful. Tastes great drizzled over cheese or cooked salmon.

This place is GOLDEN!

I'm never buying honey from anywhere else again! Beautifully designed space and great customer service. Avi was my salesperson and had so much knowledge of the products with description and even honey taste tests! A wonderful and thoughtful gift for anyone to received : )

Honey I’m a Fan

I tried Spring and 3 weeks later the container was empty and now I’m on my second jar. I will purchase my 3rd jar in a few weeks. That is the review in a nutshell.

Honey Royale Spring

Excellent in my hot tea!

Amazing!!

We are savoring every drop!

Royal Delight

Never before have I’ve tried honey that not only had the taste of flowers, but with a hint of grape jelly! This will be definitely going to be a repeated purchase, and hopefully be on stock for Christmas :3

Best bee products ever!

I have been so impressed by the quality and flavor differentiation all Waxing Kara products bring to our table. you can immediately tell the difference between an adulterated and artificially sweetened honey vs Bee Inspired. I love the different profiles, stories and regions where the products come from. There is a beautiful story behind them.

Love this honey!

This has to be the best honey I've ever had! I try to get at least 2 jars whenever I go to the store. Looking forward to getting more.

Spring Honey! The Best!

It is a wonderfully sweet honey. Perfect for a delicious mug of tea anytime of day or night. Would never use any honey but Waxing Kara. The Blueberry and the Black Locust are favorites too! Can’t go wrong with any of her honey!!

Fantastic subtle flavor

I hadn't had local/non-grocery mass-manufactured honey before, so I was a bit hesitant to try this brand, but a trusted friend recommended it. I opted to try the Spring Honey as a first step due to my love of anything with even a hint of lavender, and boy was I impressed! The flavor is oh-so-subtle but definitely noticeable, and the honey itself is the perfect amount of sweet, nowhere near cloying. I especially would recommend this honey in nighttime and calming teas, as the flavor profile perfectly suits them.

Review

"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." A comment upon licking WaxingKara's spring honey from a spoon, just before dabbing it onto a cracker with cheese. It was a Mother's Day home run!

Review

This honey is without a doubt the best I have ever experienced. I am on my second jar, and add it to toast, yogurt, salad dressings or baking/roasting daily--always included in the menu! I am about to try the avocado honey. I love supporting the bees!!

Leslie, It's so great to hear from you! We're so happy to hear that you're happy with the honey! Stay safe and healthy!

Review

This honey is like nothing I have ever tasted before. So smooth and delicious! I will definitely get more!

Review

Love, love this honey. Had to order more as I got to the bottom of the jar.

Patricia! It's great to hear from you. Thank you!

Review

Kara's Spring Honey elevates honey to an amazing level of sensuality, taste, and health. I know that I am nursing my body with natural support to minimize pollen allergies while enjoying the most satisfying flavor and texture. Whenever I enjoy this honey in my tea, I always put a teaspoon directly in my mouth so I get the full experience. Beware, it's addictive!

Thank you! ;)

Review

Subtle sweetness. Delicious! Smooth & a gourmet touch to my tea. Definitely will indulge in trying the other jars of honey

Review

love this honey! You can smell the sweetness when you open the jar and the flavor is amazing right off the spoon. I use in both my Tea and coffee as well.
