Celebrating the Culinary Wonders of Honey and Beekeeping
Celebrating the Culinary Wonders of Honey
Chefs, creators, and brands unite to inspire and educate all month long.
This September, the National Honey Board's campaign returns for its sixth year, focusing on the critical need to support honey bees. The event offers unique opportunities to engage in local activities and discover the many ways that honey plays a vital role in our lives. From choosing honey at your local store to savoring honey-infused dishes at your favorite restaurant, this initiative emphasizes the importance of honey consumption during National Honey Month.
The Importance of Honey Bees
As honey bees encounter various challenges, supporting these essential pollinators becomes increasingly crucial. Participants include notable partners like content creators and key national brands that aim to spread awareness and inspire individuals to include honey and honey-laced products in their meals.
Margaret Lombard, CEO of the National Honey Board, states, "When you purchase honey, you are directly supporting a beekeeper and the honey bees they care for. Through our Honey Saves Hives campaign, we are emphasizing the important connections between honey consumption, beekeepers, and the bees that produce this amazing product."
Highlighting Dedicated Beekeepers
Hilary Kearney, a dedicated beekeeper known for her work with Girl Next Door Honey, collaborates with the National Honey Board to enhance the Honey Saves Hives campaign. She offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a beekeeper and emphasizes the essential role honey bees play in our ecosystem.
"My work allows me to witness the incredible impact that honey bees and honey have on our environment," Kearney shared. "I strive to educate consumers about honey's creation and inspire them to support pollinator health through the Honey Saves Hives initiative."
The National Honey Board appreciates beekeepers' hard work through its video series celebrating the art and effort involved in honey production. This series invites viewers to learn about the human stories behind the industry and the dedication of beekeepers around the globe.
Inspiring At-Home Cooks
This campaign reaches into your local grocery aisle to engage consumers with the essential relationship between honey, bees, and their food. Throughout the month, shoppers can expect special demonstrations and informational videos highlighting honey's impact in the culinary world.
The National Honey Board has partnered with bestselling cookbook author Carolina Gelen, who offers delicious recipes incorporating honey, making it easy for everyone to experiment and elevate their meals.
Carolina emphasizes the versatility of honey, stating, "Honey can enhance any dish, whether sweet or savory, simple or elegant. Its flavor and natural sweetness make it a key ingredient in my recipes. I’m excited to support the Honey Saves Hives campaign while doing what I love in the kitchen!"
Honey on Restaurant Menus
Support for honey bees continues beyond the home kitchen and into our restaurant choices. From mid-September, the National Honey Board will host an immersive culinary event at a well-known food hall where top chefs will showcase honey in innovative dishes. This experience not only celebrates honey's prominent role in cuisine but also educates patrons about the importance of pollinators.
While dining out, patrons can discover local establishments featuring dishes made with honey, spreading awareness about the vital connection between honey consumption and bee health. Numerous bakeries and breweries nationwide are getting involved this National Honey Month, further allowing consumers to support honey bees through their choices.
