September is National Honey Month!

In 1989, the National Honey Board declared the month of September as National Honey Month as a way to promote the beekeeping industry, beekeeping in the United States and, of course, honey! While we all know honey as Mother Nature’s sweetener, the many uses of honey is extensive. Take a look at some of favorite uses for honey outside of the kitchen for proof!

At Sioux Honey, we’re doing our part to help celebrate National Honey Month and encourage you to do the same. There are plenty of ways to get in on the action starting in the kitchen. Our website has hundreds of different honey recipes for everything from chocolate chip cookies and carrot cakes to beef marinades and beet salads so browse away and don’t forget to share your creations with us on Facebook! If you decide to be adventurous and create your own recipes using honey, keep these tips for baking with honey to make sure your finished product is a huge success. Oh, and we’ve got plenty more honey hints for you to try, too!

If you’re running low on your own personal Sue Bee® honey supply, you can stock up your inventory by visiting our online store. While we only distribute our honey in bulk from the site, keep in mind that honey never goes bad and certain items like our Spun® honey make great gift ideas! Plus, you can even order our Sue Bee® Honey Gift Box for a nice variety of different types of honey to try.

Speaking of different types of honey, be sure to educate yourself on all the varieties that we offer at Sue Bee®, including clover, raw, Spun®, orange and organic! Each one has its own unique flavor. Which one is your favorite?

And while September isn’t exactly the best time of year to plant flowers, it’s never too early to start planning for next spring. Start by making plans to build your own bee-friendly garden! More and more gardeners are dedicated to helping the bees by adding to the shrinking inventory of flower-rich habitat in their area. Plan on planting native flowers and select single-top flowers, such as daisies or marigolds, that produce more nectar and make it easier for bees to access pollen. Also remember to avoid using herbicides or pesticides in the garden that can be toxic to bees. It’s a great way to support the U.S.A. honey bee – something that is very important to us.

Do your part this September to help spread the word about National Honey Month!

Different Types of Honey

Bees make honey from flower nectar, so different flowers naturally give different flavors to the honey you keep on your shelf. More than 300 unique types of honey have been identified, but Sue Bee® honey – which tests and blends honey in a state-of-the-art laboratory – makes it easy for you by offering variety, including Aunt Sue’s®. If you’re a fan of nature’s sweetener, you owe it to yourself to try each one!

Sue Bee® Clover Honey has always been the most popular kind, derived from white and yellow sweet clovers, then filtered and blended to have the light color and delicate flavor that most of us know as honey. Packaged in several sizes and styles (the bear and no-drip table servers are favorites), clover honey is our flagship.

Aunt Sue’s® Raw & Unfiltered Honey is honey from the nectar of wildflowers, so it’s darker in color and has an all-natural, robust flavor. It’s also unfiltered, so the pollen adds to the authenticity. Try this when you’re baking hearty bran muffins or granola bars for a full-bodied taste. When you’re glazing a meat dish, the darker color provides a richer caramelized appearance.

Sue Bee® Spun® Honey is pure, filtered clover honey – like the flagship variety – that has been allowed to granulate under controlled conditions. The result is a smooth, easy-to-spread texture that goes on toast like butter or jelly, without dripping or drizzling. It’s a breakfast favorite. If you’re a believer in applying honey to minor nicks and scrapes – honey keeps bacteria out and moisture in – Sue Bee® Spun® Honey is more convenient to use than the liquid form.

More ideas? Let us know your favorite kind of Sue Bee® honey and a way to use it someone else might enjoy!

Honey Hints

Have you ever wondered how to substitute honey in your favorite recipes? What about how to reverse granulation – that thick crystallization or sugaring that sometimes occurs to honey over time? We’ve got those answers and more! Check out some of our helpful honey hints below for the answers you’ve been looking for!

To substitute Sue Bee® honey for sugar in your favorite recipes:

Simply substitute honey, cup for cup, in place of sugar. As a rule, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for every cup of honey used.

In baked goods, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of honey used and reduce baking temperature by 25 degrees.

In cookie recipes using eggs and no additional liquid, increase the flour by 2 tablespoons per cup of honey, or enough flour to give the desired consistency. Chill the dough before shaping and baking.

To use honey instead of brown sugar, use some molasses with the honey.

Granulation

Granulation does not affect the taste of purity of honey – it never spoils. It may be used granulated or restores to a liquid. To reliquify honey, place the open container in a pan of hot water until all crystals melt.

Weight

Honey is sold by weight. In the United States, this means in pounds or avoirdupois ounces. Unfortunately, we also measure volume in units called fluid ounces. The units are not equal; in fact, 1 cup of honey (8 fluid ounces) weighs approximately 12 ounces (avoirdupois) — in other words, the 12-ounce jar of honey that you purchase will fill 1 cup.

Measuring

Honey can be measured easily by using the same cup used for the oil or by coating a cup or spoon with non-cooking spray.

National Waffle Day

National Waffle Day is Aug. 24 – the day the waffle iron was issued a patent in the United States! Waffles are typically enjoyed for breakfast but have also been known to be consumed anytime throughout the day while being paired with classic like chicken, ham, berries and more. No matter how you like to eat waffles, there are plenty of ways to add a little sweetness with the help of honey. We’ve compiled some of our favorite waffle recipes that use honey either in the batter or as the topping.

National Honey Bee Day

National Honey Bee Day was started by grassroots-minded beekeepers as a way to help build awareness for the industry through education and promotion. The date for National Honey Bee Day is chosen each year as “to not interfere with other national pollinator, honey programs, and national/regional conferences.”

The popularity of this holiday has increased each year as the plight of the honey bee has continued to generate awareness all across the world.

The Importance Of Bees In U.S. Agriculture
As honey bees gather pollen and nectar for their survival, they pollinate crops such as apples, cranberries, melons and broccoli. Some crops, including blueberries and cherries, are 90% dependent on honey bee pollination; one crop, almonds, depends entirely on the honey bee for pollination at bloom time. Overall it’s estimated that without honey bee pollination American crop yield and quality would be greatly reduced, $47 billion in crops would be affected and produce aisles in our grocery stores would be diminished by more than 30%.

Each year American farmers and growers continue to feed more people using less land. They produce an abundance of food that is nutritious and safe. U.S.A. honey bees are very much a part of this modern agricultural success story. It’s estimated that there are about 2.4 million honey bee colonies in the U.S. today, two-thirds of which travel the country each year pollinating crops and producing honey and beeswax. More than 1 million colonies are used each year in California just to pollinate the state’s almond crop!?? The contribution made by managed honey bees comes in the form of increased yields and superior quality crops for growers and American consumers. Truly, a healthy beekeeping industry is invaluable to a healthy U.S. agricultural economy.

What You Can Do
Supporting the U.S.A. honey bee is easy. Read the labels. Look for honey produced in America. Ask your local grocer to stock honey that is produced in the U.S.A. Avoid honey blended from sources outside the U.S.

More and more gardeners are dedicated to helping the bees by adding to the shrinking inventory of flower-rich habitat in their area. Plant native flowers. Select single flower tops such as daisies or marigolds that produce more nectar and make it easier for bees to access pollen. Avoid using herbicides or pesticides in the garden that can be toxic to bees.

We’re counting on you! By buying U.S.A. honey, you are supporting American bees and American beekeepers, as well as helping to strengthen the important role the U.S.A. honey bee plays in American agriculture pollination.
