Seattle Urban Honey Featured in The Daily UW
We are delighted to be featured in “The Daily” in an article by Myla Janssen titled: “Seattle Urban Honey: A Blooming Business.” The piece explores the story of Seattle Urban Honey — a small-batch raw honey producer rooted in the neighborhoods of Seattle, Washington.
Urban Honey Flavors and Seattle Beekeeping
We discuss the ever-changing flavors of honey based on what the bees are foraging. We share our founding story and the growth of the honey business. Additionally, the article covers how urban beekeeping in Seattle produces uniquely complex flavor profiles — a result of the diverse flora found across city neighborhoods.
The flavors of urban honey are particularly complex because of the wide variety of flora in urban areas. Even Seattle Urban Honey signature flavors, such as blackberry, contain several other flavor undertones because of the city diverse plant life.

In particular, the article highlights how blackberry honey — one of our most popular varietals — carries undertones shaped by the wide mix of plants bees forage across Seattle parks, gardens, and green spaces. As a result, every batch reflects the specific season and neighborhood where the hives are kept. Learn more in our Seattle local honey guide.
