Product Overview
Pure Acacia Honey by HoneyBee & Co. is a smooth, delicate honey known for its clear golden hue and subtle floral aroma. Naturally low in pollen and slow to crystallise, it remains beautifully liquid for months. Perfect for drizzling over porridge, blending into tea, or sweetening yoghurt, it’s the ideal choice for those who love a gentle, refined sweetness.
Why Acacia Honey?
Acacia Honey is often called “liquid gold” for its clarity and mild taste. It’s rich in natural antioxidants and enzymes that support digestion and energy balance. Acacia honey is also rich in powerful plant compounds like flavonoids that act as antioxidants, further enhancing its health benefits. A diet high in flavonoids may reduce the risk of chronic conditions, including heart disease and certain types of cancer. Its high fructose content keeps it liquid longer, making it one of the most versatile honeys for daily use. Acacia honey is also lower in glucose compared to other honeys, which contributes to its unique nutritional profile and slower crystallization. Acacia honey is safe to eat for most people and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. However, it is recommended that certain populations, such as infants under the age of one, avoid consuming honey due to potential health risks.
From Hive to Jar
The acacia honey comes from our family hives allowing us to guarantee our commitment to sustainability and purity. Each jar is filled with raw, unprocessed honey never pasteurised, never blended. Our Acacia Honey is harvested from the blossoms of Robinia pseudoacacia trees, carefully filtered, and jarred with minimal handling to preserve all beneficial enzymes and nutrients. Each jar is individually wrapped or sealed to maintain freshness and quality during storage and delivery. The finished honey is stored in hexagonal wax cells, and once the moisture content is low enough, bees cap the cells with beeswax, ensuring its quality and longevity.
Ways to Enjoy It
✔️ Drizzle over Greek yoghurt or pancakes
✔️ Stir into herbal teas or warm lemon water
✔️ Pair with mild cheeses like ricotta or brie
✔️ Add to salad dressings or glazes for natural sweetness

In the same way, buying honey shouldn't be as simple as going to the supermarket and picking up a jar; there are over 300 varieties of honey, each with different colours, aromas, tastes and benefits.

The plant is native to the southeastern United States but can now be found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. And more importantly, acacia honey does not come from any of these trees. Black acacia, or "false acacia", usually from the species Robinia pseudoacacia or Caragana arborescens, is where acacia honey comes from.
The source of the honey determines its colour. "False acacia" produces honey that is white or pale yellow. There are more than 300 varieties of honey being commercialised, each with its own distinct colour, aroma, taste and range of health benefits.

The leaves of False Acacia plants are bipinnate, and in some species, also tripinnate or even quadripinnate. The flowers have both male and female parts and are wind pollinated. False Acacia plants produce large numbers of pods which contain numerous seeds.
