National Honey Day

How to Celebrate National Honey Day

Purchase a Jar of Local Honey

The very best way to get on board with celebrating National Honey Day would be to support a local beekeeper by purchasing a jar of honey.

Honey is a delightful additive to a cup of tea, eaten on toast, or used in a wide range of delicious recipes. It’s a delicious and nutritious alternative to simple sugar.

Learn Some Benefits of Local Honey

An ideal activity in honor of this day might be to get more educated about the reasons why buying and consuming local honey is a good idea. For instance, consider a few of these benefits:

Support your local community and economy by keeping the finances right in the neighborhood or local area – this can also foster an important community connection.

Reduce waste and the environmental impact of shipping by getting your honey (and other goods too!) from local beekeepers, growers and farmers.

Some people have found that consuming local honey also has health benefits, particularly providing relief from allergens when consumed regularly.

Get Creative with Honey

National Honey Day is just the right time to try a new recipe that includes honey.

From savory flavors like honey-glazed ham and honey mustard chicken, to tempting baked goods like baklava thumbprint cookies, honey brings all sorts of nuances to recipes.

You can even infuse it into your butter to use on biscuits or homemade bread!

Try out a few of these interesting ideas for dishes with honey:

• Grilled Nectarines with Burrata and Honey
• Honey Infused Corn Bread
• Honey Berry Sheet Cake
• Spicy Honey Sriracha Dip
