The Carolina Honey Bee Company

We went there on a rainy day expecting it to be just a honey store. it was so much more! They had so many different types of honey and everyone there knew so much about bee keeping and honey. We bought the spicy pepper honey and use it on soo much! I would go back again!

The staff here could not be friendlier or more welcoming. We kind of just stumbled upon the store when we arrived in Greenville early for a tour at the nearby whiskey distillery. The guy behind the counter quickly welcomed us and suggested we come sample of few of the honeys that they make there. I tried the original honey, cinnamon creamed honey and honey with adobo peppers. They were all delicious and there were several more options which I could have sampled. The employee also suggested uses for each product as we sampled it which was helpful. I eventually settled on the cinnamon creamed honey since I am a honey lover but have never seen a product like this before. I was told it would be good stirred into tea or coffee or spread on toast with peanut butter. My friends got other versions of honey and one got a version of wet walnuts mixed with cranberries and honey which is supposedly delicious on ice cream, pound cake, or oatmeal. The store has plenty of adorable little products that are all honey or bee related. I really enjoyed using the sample of the honey and oatmeal hand cream. It smelled great and my hands were soft for hours. This is a cute little store to explore when in town.

I went here seeking simple honey, only to find an array of flavors and textures along with simple honey. My favorite is the hot orange blossom honey. I second that with the strawberry creamed honey. They were both so delicious. The worker was polite and had lots of information on bees. I will definitely be back.

Very helpful folks who will help you get started in bee keeping. All supplies and books you need. They also sale their own honey. The honey is good as well.
