Hello Honey Lovers,
There's something about September that feels like the year's biggest shift. The kids are back to school, the evenings are cooler, the leaves are beginning to turn and at Just Bee, we're heading into our favourite time of year - 'Porridge Season'!
It's also peak cosy TV season - Bake Off and Strictly are back and I couldn't be happier. Bake off always gets me into the mood to bake a cake. My go-to? A good old lemon drizzle using Vitality Honey. Got a favourite honey-infused bake? I'd love to hear about it!
We've also got something very exciting launching this month... a brand-new wellness product we've been working on for the past year. It's one of my favourite creations yet, something that tastes amazing and supports your health, but more of that below...
Let us know your thoughts at buzz@justbeehoney.co.uk
And remember, Be Happy, Be Healthy, Just Bee, 🐝💛

INTRODUCING: GUT HEALTH HONEY!
|
|
Back in April 2024, we sent out a short questionnaire asking what health issues you'd like a bit of extra support with-and one topic came up again and again: gut health.
When we dug a little deeper, we discovered that around two-thirds of adults experience gut health issues at some point, with about 40% struggling every single week. Clearly, this is something so many of us are dealing with, often quietly, and it felt important to create a product that could genuinely help. So, I rolled up my sleeves, put on my lab coat, and got to work.
I'll be honest-this has been a real labour of love. It's taken the best part of a year to get right. There are countless products on the market that claim to help with gut health, but when we looked closer, many were missing something. Some only contained either prebiotics or probiotics, when I felt strongly that both are vital for a product to really make a difference. And when we taste-tested them, not all were something you'd actually want to enjoy every day.
That kicked off months of experimenting. Some recipes tasted great but didn't tick the health boxes; others had the right ingredients but just weren't enjoyable. There were definitely moments where I wondered, "maybe we've overcomplicated this," but I kept going, determined to create something that really works, tastes great, and feels like a natural part of your daily routine-not just another jar sitting on the shelf.
And finally, we landed on something I'm truly proud of: Gut Health Honey.
It's a carefully crafted blend of ingredients designed to support your gut in a natural and gentle way, with a flavour that's as comforting as it is delicious.
Here's what's inside:
- Acacia Honey - light, delicate, and easy on the digestive system
- Prebiotics + Probiotics - working together to balance good bacteria and aid digestion
- Vitamin C - supporting immune function and the gut barrier
- Apple & Cinnamon - a sweet, warming flavour we know you love
This is a product made with real intention: simple, natural ingredients that work beautifully together, without overpromising or overcomplicating things.
I can't wait to share it with you. Keep an eye on your inbox-the launch is just around the corner, and trust me, this is one you won't want to miss.

HONEY CINNAMON ROLLS
Soft, fluffy and full of comforting spice, these Honey Cinnamon Rolls are a truly special bake. Made with a rich swirl of cinnamon and finished with a warm honey glaze, they're perfect for weekend baking, sharing with loved ones, or simply enjoying with a quiet cuppa.
You can use any Just Bee Honey in this recipe, but we particularly love Royal Honey. With its silky texture and subtle richness from Manuka, Royal Jelly and vitamin D, it adds a naturally luxurious sweetness that complements the cinnamon beautifully.

Hi Joe,
I'm a huge fan of Just Bee, but I've been wondering... can you have too much of a good thing? I use the Immunity Honey during the day and the Sleeptime Honey at night and now I've got my eye on the new Gut Health Honey too! Am I overdoing it?
Regards, Bethany

Hi Bethany,
I'm really glad you asked, because you're definitely not alone in wondering.
The short answer is-yes, it's totally fine to use more than one of our honeys a day. Each blend is designed to support different areas of wellbeing, so they actually work really nicely together.
In terms of vitamins, we always stay well within safe daily limits. For example, our Immunity Honey contains 40mg of vitamin C per serving, while the upper safe limit (also known as the UL) is 2,000mg per day-so you've got plenty of room.
Keep enjoying your honey rituals, and we hope you love our Gut Health Honey too!
Be Happy, Be Healthy, Just Bee 🐝

WHAT ARE PREBIOTICS AND PROBIOTICS?
You've probably heard a lot about prebiotics and probiotics, they've become a bit of a buzzword in the world of wellness. But what do they actually do, and why are they important when it comes to gut health? Let's break it down in simple terms.
Probiotics are the good bacteria that live in your gut. Yes, bacteria might sound like something to avoid, but your body actually needs these helpful microbes to support digestion, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Think of probiotics as your internal team of helpers, working behind the scenes to keep everything ticking along smoothly...
