NUNDA, N.Y., June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Local Hive™, the only national brand of honey sourced exclusively from American beekeepers, is the winner of the sixth annual Mindful Awards in the Honey Product of the Year category.

Local Hive™ 100% American Honey wins the Mindful Awards

Currently celebrating 100 years of 100% American honey, Local Hive™ is honored to work directly with more than 200 American beekeepers to bring U.S. sourced, raw and unfiltered honey to the marketplace. Throughout the commercial pollination flow (a.k.a., the route the beekeepers travel with their bees), honey is collected and sent to Local Hive's headquarters in Greeley, CO, where it is bottled and distributed to retailers in that region or across the country, depending on the varietal. The result is 23+ premium honey blends that feature unique flavor profiles from across the states, plus steady revenue for local beekeepers that help to safeguard pollinators and give back to our ecosystem and the economy. For example, commercial beekeepers contribute more than $15 billion to the U.S. economy thanks to honey bees' role in keeping fruits, nuts, and vegetables in our diets. One out of every four bites of food people take is courtesy of bees!

Local Hive™ strives to ensure American beekeeping stays alive and well by bringing locally harvested honey – just the way the bees made it – to stores across the country, while simultaneously giving consumers a way to make a difference simply by buying a bottle. Local Hive™ donates a portion of all honey proceeds to PACE: Pollinator Awareness through Conservation and Education, a global initiative led by Colorado-based Butterfly Pavilion. Since 2018, the two organizations have shared a passion to promote, protect and prolong pollination.
