Honey, long recommended as a soothing sweetener in cold and flu season, is especially restorative in cooler weather. But not all honey is created equal. Each Bee Raw varietal comes from the nectar of one unique floral source, which creates a diverse collection of honey that differ in color, taste and texture. Raw (unprocessed) honey will, over time, form beneficial crystals that enhance flavor and demonstrate the quality of the product. Bee Raw’s distinct regional varietals are the very essence of single-floral sources such as Oregon Pumpkin Blossom, a coveted honey with an unmistakably clear taste of sweet roasted squash and Georgia Holly Blossom, an intensely floral honey with a finishing note of freshly cut pine that elevates simple herbal tea or a tangy chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Here’s a few great holiday gift selections from Bee Raw.

Bee Raw’s Holiday Varietal Honey Flight ($54.00; available early-mid October) is a winter celebration of the best honey varietals from coast to coast. Tart Indiana Cranberry Blossom, bright Florida Orange Blossom, singing Colorado Star Thistle and warming Georgia Holly Blossom form a quartet fit for any holiday table. Vials are hand-corked and sealed with beeswax, then packaged with a beautiful, handcrafted oak block in our signature gift box.

Bee Raw’s Winter Survival Kit ($72.00; available early-mid October) is the antidote to winter’s harsh toll on body and soul. With the most essential Bee Raw products for staying cozy and enlivening your senses, you can do better than survive — you can thrive! This gift includes estate-grown Assam Black Tea, Colorado Star Thistle Honey, hand-poured Bergamot Beeswax Candle, and hand-crafted Healing Balm.

Bee Raw’s Harvest Trio ($42.00; available early-mid October) includes three limited edition rare fall favorites in 5.4-oz. jars that will transport you to the pumpkin patch and inspire your fall harvest culinary adventures. Savor tart Cranberry Blossom, buttery Maple Blossom and warming Pumpkin Blossom. Also sold individually.

The company sent me 3 complimentary products to try out for all of you. I’ve been a huge honey consumer and fan for 40+ years. I like to put honey in my hot tea, coffee, yogurt, drizzle on top of vanilla bean ice cream, etc. I’m a big user of skincare products that contain honey as an ingredient too.

Raw Colorado Sweet Yellow Clover Honey has a sweet and buttery taste with cinnamon and nutmeg undertones. I’ve been enjoying this particular honey in my hot tea 2-3 times a day. I don’t need to add any other sweeteners at all! It dissolves really nicely in your hot beverage and gives you a smooth taste. It’s delicious. Available for purchase by the jar or via a 3-pack.

Raw Georgia Tupelo Honey is renowned by honey connoisseurs. It resists crystallization with a smooth and buttery taste with undertones of pear and hops. I’ve been using this flavor in my coffee as a natural sweetener instead of sugar, drizzles on top of ice cream, stirred into my vanilla yogurt and a few days ago I put some in my lemon muffin batter to add an extra little flavor. Oh my gosh, those were the best muffins ever! If you’re more of a traditional honey lover this would be for you. Delicious. Available for purchase by the jar or via a 3-pack.

Hand-Crafted Multiple Use ButchWax Plain Ol’ is an all-purpose beeswax balm that can be used on anything that needs conditioning. You can use it on your hair, skin, lips, nails, leather, wood, etc. I’ve been using it on my very dry hands, cuticles, nails and the heels of my feet. During this time of the year they get extremely dry and the ButchWax works great! The fine cracks that I had are all healed up, dry patches are barely visible and my skin is starting to look smooth & healthy once again. I’ve been calling it my little miracle balm in a tin can.

You can find all of these great holiday gifts at BeeRaw.com for an affordable price. In my honest opinion, I call it giving the gift of health. Check out the wonderful Recipes & Pairings section on their website while you’re there. You can connect with the company on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and on Instagram.
