Honeydrop Beverages is a healthy line of teas and juices powered by honey. The Brooklyn, NY-based company is a leading producer of natural teas and juices made with a spoonful of pure wildflower honey, domestically sourced from regional beekeepers across the U.S..

Honeydrop recently announced their “Buy a Bottle – Save a Bee” initiative where a percentage of the profits from each bottle sold are donated to local beekeepers throughout the country to help battle Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), an epidemic threatening the global bee population. The funds will help beekeepers build and maintain new beehives. Each new beehive increases the bee population by 40,000-60,000 bees, actively combating CCD.

CEO David Luks founded Honeydrop after a battle with cancer lead him to pursue living a natural lifestyle; David discovered the extraordinary health benefits of honey and built his company based on the simple idea of offering consumers a flavorful and healthful drink that is derived from the land, not the lab. Honey’s health benefits are impressive – honey contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, is unrefined and is lower on the glycemic index than most sweeteners. Honey has also been proven to help restore tired muscles after strenuous exercise, to heal wounds, and to be a more effective cough syrup for children than leading cough syrups.

In the Tri-State area, Honeydrop partners with Andrew Coté of Silvermine Apiary for their all-natural honey. Coté is also the founder of Bees Without Borders, a non-profit organization that teaches proper beekeeping techniques and practices to communities overseas. Every Wednesday, Andrew can be found selling his honey in the Union Square Greenmarket.

Honeydrop will be showcasing their line of fresh brewed teas and all natural juices, including their recently launched Green Tea, Lemon Tea, and Lemon Ginger Tea flavors at the Natural Products Expo East 2011 at the Baltimore Convention Center. Honeydrop will be exhibiting from September 22-24 at booth #458 at the Expo East show. You can find Honeydrop’s teas at leading natural and gourmet grocers nationwide, including Whole Foods, Nugget Markets and Dean & DeLuca for an MSRP of $1.99.
