I found Green Bee Honey Soda at the local Rhino market here in NoDa within the city of Charlotte, NC. Rhino market carries lots of local products like beer, coffee, snacks and made to order sandwiches. They have fantastic management that will order new products like Green Bee Honey Soda for customers to try out.
Okay, so let me tell you, the Honey Soda was so good, I asked the manager to order some more. She was excited that I liked it and the staff chimed in and said they really liked it too.
So, today I walked in and noticed the shipment had already arrived and with a new flavor as well.
Green Bee Lemon Sting Honey Soda Lemon Juice with Honey & Rosemary
Lemon Sting was Green Bees’ first flavor and it started right in the Owner Chris’s Kitchen. He decided to utilize Honey from his hives and mix it with juice and herbs and his kids loved it. Once they kept asking about it, he decided to create Green Bee.
They opened up a manufacturing facility in Brunswick, Maine and I’ve been lucky enough to try it here in North Carolina. It should be available in more areas throughout the mid-Atlantic region since their expansion in 2020.
Flavors Available:
Ginger, Wild Blueberry and Lemon Sparkling Waters.
Also, Lemon Sting, Ginger Buzz, Green Tea, Honeycomb Cider and Blueberry Dream Honey Sodas. I can’t wait to try their other flavors and products. They even have some fun collaborations they released and you can reach out with your beverage idea and email them here: info@drinkgreenbee.com
Price
You can order them online for $2.59 per Honey Soda or buy a dozen for $2.45 each. I found them at my local neighborhood market for $2.50. If you want a sample, order the case with one of each flavor for $12.89 directly from Green Bees via WellBees.
Just Four Ingredients
Carbonated Water, Honey, Lemon Juice and Rosemary. For a simple beverage, they list simple ingredients. That reflects in the taste. It’s real, and taste Homemade. Only 110 calories per bottle and I don’t feel bad about the 26g of Sugar because it’s from Honey and Lemon Juice. Not HFCS.
Perfect For Summer
Green Bee Honey Sodas are a real treat with temperatures hitting upwards of 100 this season. The cool refreshing taste of honey and lemon in a smooth, cool carbonated beverage has been perfect for sitting out on the patio. I cut back on Soda consumption years ago and now I tend to stick to seltzers if I want something carbonated and fruity. I had never even heard of Honey Soda until I found Green Bees and I’m so glad I did. Each flavor I’ve tried has been really delicious. My favorite so far being the Honeycomb Cider.
Green Bee Honey Soda Review
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I’m crazy about these Honey Soda’s. I’ll likely treat myself to this quite a few more times and I will definitely be ordering the 12 pack Sampler. What a unique product. And I love the fact it started with his kids, for his kids, from his bees to a bottle. Some may wish there was more fruit flavor to these.
Remember that these are Honey Sodas, not fruit soda with Honey so, they are all Honey forward. It will be the first thing you taste. I love it. The ending notes are where you’ll find lemon and subtle rosemary.
It could be stronger on the lemon side, but that’s just personal preference. I’ll eat a lemon plain. $2.50 may get you an entire 2 liter of Minute Maid Lemonade, or Sprite. But they have nothing to do with bees, they are mostly sugar syrup and loaded with artificial flavors.
Everything about Green Bees Honey Soda is true to source and you’ll definitely be able to taste it. Don’t forget to slow roll the bottles to free up any sediment that has settled on the bottom. This is absolutely one of my favorite products so far this year. Don’t miss out on this one!
