Meet the Honey: A Guided Tasting with Our Beekeeper

Honey is more than just sweet.

Where it comes from, how it is handled, and how we use it can all change the experience. That’s why we’ve created a collection of honeys for different ways of tasting, cooking and enjoying what the hive has to offer.

In the video below, one of our beekeepers will guide you through the five honeys included in your Backed By Bees Honey Tasting Kit:

• All Purpose Honey — our everyday honey, made for drizzling, stirring and enjoying by the spoonful.
• Raw Honey — honey kept closer to its natural state, with its character and texture shaped by the hive and the season.
• Functional Honey — honey with an added dimension, created for those interested in exploring honey beyond traditional sweetness.
• Cooking & Baking Honey — selected with the kitchen in mind, where honey can add sweetness, depth and character to recipes.
• Charcuterie Honey — made for pairing, bringing another layer of flavour to cheeses, breads and other foods.

Taste Along With Us

There is no single “right” way to taste honey.

As you move through the collection, notice the colour, aroma, texture and flavour of each one. Some differences may be immediate. Others begin to emerge as the honey sits on your palate.

Watch the video, taste along, and discover how different honey can be when you slow down and pay attention to what’s in the jar.

From Our Hives to Your Table

At Backed By Bees, honey is one of the ways we help people reconnect with the natural world around them. Every jar begins with bees, flowers, weather, landscape and the work of caring for healthy colonies.

We hope this tasting gives you a new appreciation for honey — and a reason to experience it a little differently the next time you open a jar.
