Spease Bees Honey

The honey is so delicious and the owners are very nice and friendly! The honey is very fresh, soft, and rich. The honey is wildflower honey and has the perfect sweetness, I don’t eat refined sugar so this honey was the perfect amount of sweet and tasty. Once you try this honey you will not buy store bought honey again and the price is very reasonable.
My boyfriend and I were looking for local honey and this place showed as close to my house so we decided to go on an adventure. We ended up at their office where they don’t typically sell the honey from but they happened to pull up behind us so we got out, had a great conversation, and ended up buying a jar. We laughed because we found out you can find their honey at the Elk Grove/​South Sacramento Save-​Marts and some other specialty shops where they had just been dropping off new batches and one of the Save-​Marts is about two minutes from my house, so good news I can get it even faster now.
If you are looking for great local honey you should go to the store and look for Spease Bees honey or visit their website.

Call it a happy accident!
The other night I was chatting with a few colleagues and through a series of misunderstandings — think Abbott and Costello’s Who’s on First routine — and I found myself in possession of a 12-​ounce jar of Spease Bees honey. To use another entertainer reference, how sweet it is!
A review of the label reveals the honey is produced right here in Elk Grove. Undoubtedly Elk Grove and Sacramento foodies will be pleased. Nothing says hipster like consuming locally sourced, unprocessed foods.
Now for the important part — how is the taste? Unlike the grocery store product, this honey is very dark. In fact, it looks more like a very dark syrup — molasses or dark corn syrup. I suspect this is the way some honey looks before it is processed for mass consumption. But the taste is very light and sweet.
Now I am not the wine-​snob type who claims to have such a developed palate which can claim to note hints of vanilla, pear, etc. I am sure there are those who can claim this. I’m not one of them.
This honey has a very light and sweet taste. Very tasty.
A colleague, who has more developed taste buds than me, said Spease Bees product «tastes like real honey.» She noted it was not as thick as the mass-​marketed honey she compared it to in her taste test. That honey, by contract was sugary.
On a side note, as someone who has proofread and edited alternative health articles for the last six years, there is a widespread body of knowledge that suggests locally sourced honey can help fight seasonal allergies. As one of the millions in the Central Valley who suffer from seasonal allergies, I certainly hope this as a sweet antidote in the coming months.
It is my understanding this product, aside from being available on their website, is available at several area Save Mart grocery stores.
One more thought — we hope Elk Grove consumers will support locally sourced food. If Spease Bees honey gains a foothold, maybe this will be an impetus for other Elk Grove-​based producers. Maybe the support and promotion of locally produced foods should be something the City of Elk Grove includes in their fledgling economic development plans.
