I’ve been fortunate to pick up some local North Carolina Honey this week, I came across Dancing Bees Farm Pure Raw Honey at a local neighborhood market in Charlotte, NC.
It was just under $5 for an 8oz squeeze top bottle. Find out what I thought of Dancing Bee’s Pure Raw Honey below.

Dancing Bees Farm Pure Raw Honey
” As Natural as can Bee”
-Dancing Bees Farm
Dancing Bees Farm is based out of Monroe, North Carolina. Jeff, the owner, has been beekeeping since 2001. He owns a 36-acre farm that is home to Tulip Poplar Trees, Buttercups and Sweet Clover.
If you’ve never tried Tulip Poplar Honey, it’s really delicious, I recommend it.
They have lots of rescued pets and strive to create a farm that preserves the importance of the Honeybee.
If you’re local to the suburbs of Charlotte, NC you’ve likely seen this brand at Farmer’s Markets in surrounding areas.
Available Products
Wildflower Honey in 4 squeeze-top sizes: 8oz, 16oz, 24oz and 32oz. Honey Gallon (12lbs) Comb Honey, Beeswax lotion, Honey Wine Vinegar, and Blueberry Wine Vinegar 10oz and Beeswax Candles.
Oh and, Sourwood?
Yes, they have a limited supply they sell at their Matthews Farmers Market location which runs any Saturday, 8am-noon.
As usual local beekeepers are very apparent about their location and contact information and you can find all of Jeff and Robin Knights information listed clearly on their labels, website and alternative search methods.
If you haven’t been able to try North Carolina’s exclusive sourwood Honey, I highly recommend it.
I Love the Squeeze tops
I know, It’s plastic. But I find them less messy, and so convenient. They’re also used in my Great Value Organic Honey Review, and I was pleased to see that Dancing Bees Farm uses them as well.
However, I don’t mind plastic as much since I know it’s not sitting in a truck being delivered internationally or even across the us where the Honey is subject to extreme temperatures.
I’m appreciative of clear manufacturing and processing procedures.
Dancing Bees has an entire page dedicated to it. It’s not only really important to educate people about what happens when Honey is treated and what terms like pasteurized and filtered actually mean.
You can learn about this on Dancing Bees’ page but also be assured that they do everything they can to keep their product local.
You can opt to pick up their products through their Farmers Markets in Matthews, NC or Waxhaw, NC or they will ship them.

Review Summary
Dancing Bees does a great job to get their Honey to available markets at an affordable price with a broad range of products.
They are active in their local community where you can find them at Waxhaw and Matthews, NC Farmers Markets on Saturdays.
Wildflower is the common honey, and while theirs is good, It’s typically a familiar flavor.
I used this Honey in my Americano and it was fantastic. It has a very light floral profile that almost anyone will enjoy.
I can’t wait to try their Sourwood Honey. There are a handful of local Charlotte area Beekeepers with Honey and Dancing Bees was one I’ve had before but never broke down and analyzed the Honey itself and Company. Definitely would buy again.
