Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the honey varieties you carry?
Each honey variety reflects the specific flowers bees foraged on, which changes the color, texture, and flavor significantly. Tupelo honey, for example, has a mild buttery quality that's distinct from a darker buckwheat or a light clover honey.
Are the beauty products here safe for people with bee allergies?
People with bee or honey allergies should use caution with beeswax-based products and consult a doctor before using them on skin. The staff can tell you exactly what's in each product so you can make an informed decision.
Do you carry honey suitable for cooking and baking?
Yes, several honey varieties here work well in recipes, and the staff can point you toward options that hold up under heat or that pair well with specific flavors. Raw honey is also popular for cold preparations like salad dressings and cheese boards.
Is this location good for buying gifts for people who don't know much about honey?
It's actually a great fit for that situation, because the staff is used to helping people who are new to specialty honey pick something that feels special without being overwhelming. Pre-packaged gift sets take a lot of the decision-making off your plate.
How does Georgia tupelo honey compare to other specialty honeys?
Tupelo honey is harvested from tupelo trees that flower for a short window each spring in the river swamps of South Georgia and North Florida, making it genuinely limited in supply. It's prized for its mild flavor and the fact that it resists crystallizing, which extends its shelf appeal.
Can I order online if I'm not local to Savannah?
Many of Savannah Bee Company's products are available through their website, so you don't have to be visiting Savannah to access their inventory. That said, the in-store tasting experience is worth the visit if you're ever in the area.
