Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox product Bee Free Honee was an apple-based vegan alternative to honey that achieved recognition and funding from Shark Tank.[1] Produced from apples, lemon juice, and cane sugar, it could be used as a replacement for honey in recipes.[2] The product could be consumed by young children[3] and by people with an allergy to honey.[4] In 2019, the company went out of business.[5]

History

The product was accidentally developed in 1999 by Katie Sanchez while she was making apple jelly.[6] The company was established in 2012,[7] with a production facility in River Falls, Wisconsin.[8] After being featured on Shark Tank in February 2016,[1] sales quadrupled and the company moved production from Wisconsin to Texas.[7]

Company co-owner Melissa Elms claimed that by not using bees for production, the product was beneficial to honeybee populations, which she said were often exposed to unsuitable environments in commercial production.[9]

Products

The main ingredients in Bee Free Honee were apple juice, cane sugar, and lemon juice.[3] Flavored variations included ancho chile, mint, and slippery elm.[3] The products were most often sold in stores that specialize in organic/natural foods, including H-E-B, Sprouts Farmers Market, Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers, Wegmans, and Whole Foods Market.[7][9]

Bee Free Honee was featured at the Specialty Food Association's Summer Fancy Food Show in 2016[10] and Winter Fancy Food Show in January 2017.[11]
