Local Hive by Rice’s Honey® Shares Floral Notes

Local Hive™ from Rice’s Honey®, a leading producer of high quality, U.S. only raw & unfiltered honey since 1924, wants you to close your eyes and savor the many unique tastes of local, raw & unfiltered honey. In addition to raw & unfiltered Clover, Wildflower and Amber honey sourced exclusively in the U.S., the company also bottles over 16 local varietals from around the country. In working with local beekeepers across the U.S., each varietal yields incredibly delicious and subtly different natural flavors. Much like the tasting notes of wine, where you taste and see the difference between varietals, Rice’s Honey® also imparts specific flavors in each of the honeys they sell.

Since Rice’s Honey® was founded in 1924 by L.R. Rice, we have always remained committed to providing natural, delicious U.S. only raw & unfiltered honey, while supporting local beekeepers all across the U.S. Our local honey products are an artisan blend of various floral types that are regionally sourced, packed in Greeley, Colorado, and delivered to participating grocery stores throughout the United States.”

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.
