Savannah Bee Company IntroducesCharleston Honey; Ranked on Inc. Magazine's 500/5000 List

CHARLESTON, SC – August 25, 2011 – The Savannah Bee Company announced today that it has added a local Charleston Honey to the craft honeys for sale in their King Street store. Charleston Honey is a wildflower honey sourced from the Ashepoo River near Charleston. The Savannah Bee Company supports local beekeepers and raises awareness about the benefits of eating local honey.

I love finally being able to offer a local honey to the people of Charleston and to visitors that want to take a piece of Charleston home with them, said Ted Dennard, owner of the Savannah Bee Company.

This honey was made on the Ashepoo River and has a nice floral taste of the Charleston Lowcountry. This should make the chefs and locavores happy to have a honey sourced so close to town. The label design is very different from anything we’ve ever done and I believe is the best yet. That makes it a perfect gift.
