The Honey Drop™ is a healthy alternative to the sugar cube and offers a solution for honey lovers who are tired of sweetening their hot beverages with messy liquid honey. The Honey Drop™ is an individual serving (one teaspoon / 5 g.) of 100% pure dried honey without any additives or preservatives. It is ideal for sweetening tea or coffee. Simply drop into a hot beverage and stir. You have all the natural flavor of honey without the usual honey mess.

"These locations are ideal for our 100% pure dried Honey Drops™ as these grocers pride themselves on offering the most vibrant, exciting and diverse foods within their markets. Our Honey Drops™ are the first of their kind in the world and to offer them on Sweetbay's and Hannaford's shelves is the perfect fit as their customer base is constantly looking for new food innovations."
The Honibe™ brand has received major international recognition in recent months with the Honey Drop™, named as the Global SIAL d'Or Winner 2010 for the best new food product in the world. The Honey Drop™ was also named as the best new product in the 'Grocery Sweet 2010' and best of Canada 'Country Award 2010' categories.
