Harvest Notes
This 2024 sourwood honey is our Queen’s Reserve; the purest sourwood honey that the hive girls produce only every few years. It is unlike any other honey our Hive Girls create in our Smoky Mountain apiary. The bouquet is layered with saffron, baking spices, almonds and poached fruits. The palate begins with a soft, buttery and caramel flavor which leads to a richly floral, weighty middle. Not overtly complex, but gently nuanced with a hint of fennel or anise on the finish. This sourwood honey is one of the most elegant honey available. It is simply exquisite.
We never purchase honey from other beekeepers. We control and manage the process of honey production from hive to bottle to your table. Never heated, ultra-filtered, blended, flavored or infused. Gravity-filtered to keep in all of the goodness the bees intended. Our honey is tested by independent labs to ensure it is 100% toxin-free and to ensure no adulteration or agro-toxins (pesticides, herbicides, or antibiotics). Our honey is glyphosate free per QSI Labs! See all of our lab results on our Honey page.

Always enjoy the honey I receive from Killer Bees. I love sourwood honey but I do miss the Honeycomb sourwood that I was able to purchase when I lived in North Carolina.

I’ve tasted previously, and know it’s uniquely delicious. These will be a gift. The order process is clear, and it works. Thanks for being in business.

It's difficult to review this honey without just stringing superlatives . The taste profile of both varieties that ordered was simply amazing. They were like sweet, smooth velvet on the tongue. I have a passion for their Sourwood and this year's vintage didn't disappoint . And..knowing that all of Killer Bees Honey has been tested and proven free of all toxicants including glyphosates is the cherry on the top. Best of all, in this time of crazy expensive honey it's still a bargain.
