SAVANNAH BEE COMPANY - BLACK SAGE HONEY

Earthy with notes of fruit and pepper, Black Sage Honey is a rare and exceptional treat harvested only four seasons per decade. Conditions must be exactly right in California’s lower Sierra Nevada mountains for these wild desert plants to produce enough blooms for the bees to make their magic.  

Also known as salvia mellifera, black sage is native to California and the Baja region of Mexico.  

Earthy with notes of fruit and black pepper.

Founder’s Notes - Ted Dennard

“For as long as I can remember I’ve had a connection to bees. From being introduced to beekeeping at 11 years old, to working for no money with an old beekeeper in high school, I grew up learning how important these little creatures are. After time in the Peace Corps, working with hundreds of beekeepers and teaching beekeeping in schools, I returned to Georgia, right where I started my honey journey. It was here I found myself searching for new ways to share the magic of bees and honey.

My original mission with Savannah Bee Company was to sell the best honeybee products while educating people about the fascinating world of bees. I didn’t know anyone who did that sort of thing—combining education and business. I was trying to come up with the best way to introduce customers to bees and quality honey properly. I figured that if people only knew the process, they would learn to love the bees and their products as much as I do.
