Made Right in Your own (Cali) Back Yard: Local Hive Honey!

You can't get more local and natural than this honey, found in Southern California!

I am a big fan of natural, raw unfiltered honey - and if you live in California, you must check out Local Hive! Their honey is local - as if you got it from your own back yard - and is brimming with health benefits since it is raw, unfiltered honey, which offers many benefits. This is honey as if you scooped it right out of a beehive. Raw honey, from what I have researched, has approximately 22 amino acids, 31 different minerals and a wide range of vitamins and enzymes. Read more here - and if you want to savor this lovely nectar - Local Hive™ from Rice’s Honey® can be found at Southern California stores including Costco, Walmart, Ralph’s, Albertsons, Safeway, Sprouts, Gelsons, Vons and Pavilions. To find a store in your neighborhood, visit https://localhivehoney.com/findastore.

Local Hive™from Rice’s Honey®, a leading producer of high quality, USA only raw & unfiltered honey since 1924, is California dreaming with their locally produced honey varietal sourced in The Golden State. Local Hive So Cal Honey is 100 percent pure; raw and unfiltered, preserving the honey’s nutrients for a unique local flavor from right in your own back yard. From now until Dec 12th, Local Hive So Cal Honey will be highlighted to reach Southern California Local Hive Honey lovers in a variety of ways including: a billboard on the Newport Freeway in Orange County from November 9th – December 12th, lead sponsorship in the California Wine Festival in Huntington Beach on November 9th and 10th and an extensive digital/social program through mid-December.

All Local Hive™ honey is sourced exclusively in the U.S. and then bottled in Greeley, Colorado. The team at Local Hive™ works directly with local beekeepers across the U.S., to ensure each varietal yields incredibly delicious and subtly different natural flavors. Very similar to wine, where you taste and see the difference between varietals, Local Hive™ from Rice’s Honey® also imparts specific flavors in each of the honeys they produce. From California to Florida each varietal is unique. In Southern California, the honey reflects its sweet natural source, including hints of alfalfa, berries, citrus, clover and sage, in every bottle.

A new label design highlighting our new Local Hive™ brand coincides with Rice’s new alliance with PACE, “Pollinator Awareness Through Conservation and Education”, the Butterfly Pavilion’s non-profit global initiative to restore habitats, strengthen populations and reintroduce pollinators into native habitats around the world. This partnership and commitment will be communicated on the back of the new label and will highlight how a portion of proceeds from every bottle sold of Rice’s Honey® will be donated to the PACE initiative to promote and protect the prosperity of pollinators worldwide. Rice’s Honey® has a mission to help promote all pollinators & sustainable bee farms across the country.
