Bill's Bees — Honey Stick

A single straw of raw honey. The best thing at the register for under a dollar.

A honey stick is a sealed straw holding about a teaspoon of raw honey. Bite or snip the end and squeeze. Bill's fills them from the same varietals as the jars, so the flavor depends on which one you grab: wildflower, sage, orange blossom, avocado or buckwheat. Raw honey is a quick natural sugar with trace minerals and enzymes, which is why runners and cyclists have used honey straws as fuel for decades. They also happen to be the treat kids ask for by name.

Who this is for

• A kid's reward at checkout that is not candy
• Runners, hikers and cyclists who want a natural energy shot in a pocket
• Stirring into tea at the office without carrying a jar
• Trying a varietal before buying a pound of it

Details

• Ingredients: 100% raw honey. Varietals rotate: wildflower, sage, orange blossom, avocado, buckwheat
• Sold individually. Grab a handful for a lunchbox or a gift basket
• Do not feed honey to infants under one year old

Bill's Bees is a working apiary founded in 1994 by Bill Lewis and Clyde Steese, based on a ranch in Little Tujunga Canyon in the Angeles National Forest of Southern California.
