Is it safe for my toddler to take B&B?

​

Bees & Berries contains raw-unfilitered local honey. Pediatricians recommend that Infants and toddlers 12 months and younger should NOT consume any foods that contain raw honey.  Raw honey may contain spores of bacteria that can cause botulism. After the age of 1, children develop helpful bacteria in their intestines, which act as a defense against the harmful spores.

Common Questions

The Answers You Need

How much B&B do I take?

  • It is recommended to take 1T for adults and 1t for children once a day 4-5 times a week to boost the immune system.  

  • When cold or flu symptoms occur, it is recommended to take B&B every 3 hours until symptoms subside.

  • For seasonal allergies, it's best to take daily.

Can I mix B&B in my tea?

Yes if it's ICE tea, NO if it's HOT tea! When adding B&B to hot teas or foods, hundreds of enzymes in the honey are killed. Therefore many of the beneficial nutrients and enzymes lose their effectiveness. B&B tastes great right off the spoon but it also tastes great in plain yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, cocktails, ice cream, and more!

Can you ship a bottle to me?

Unfortunately, we can not ship. B&B has NO preservatives and must be refrigerated at all times.  The Florida Department of Agriculture does not allow us to ship unless we add preservatives to make it more shelf stable.
