There is something special about honey that comes from a specific place.
Not just honey as a sweetener. Not just honey as something stirred into tea, drizzled over biscuits, or added to a favorite recipe. But real honey. Raw, unfiltered honey. Honey that carries the character of the land, the season, the blossoms, and the bees that made it.
That is the heart behind Clark Bees.
Clark Bees is excited to announce the launch of its new website, www.clarkbees.com, giving customers a simple way to explore and purchase locally produced Arizona honey directly online.
The website is launching with four distinct honey varieties: Mesquite Honey, Cat Claw Honey, Wildflower Honey, and Citrus Honey. Each variety is available in convenient 12 oz and 9 oz jars, making it easier for customers to choose the size that fits their pantry, kitchen, gift basket, or daily routine.
Based in Florence, Arizona, Clark Bees produces raw, unfiltered honey from approximately 3,000 hives with the support of a dedicated seven-person team. The new website gives honey lovers a direct connection to the natural flavors of Arizona while making it easier than ever to bring high-quality local honey into their homes.
A New Online Home for Clark Bees Honey
For years, Clark Bees has been rooted in the steady, behind-the-scenes work of beekeeping.
That work includes managing hives, caring for colonies, supporting pollination, harvesting honey, and staying closely connected to the natural rhythms of the desert and surrounding agricultural regions.
The launch of www.clarkbees.com marks a new chapter.
The new website was created to make Clark Bees honey more accessible to customers who want real, locally produced honey without having to hunt for it. Customers can now visit the site, browse available varieties, learn more about each honey profile, and order directly from Clark Bees.
This is not mass-produced honey stripped of its character.
Clark Bees honey is raw and unfiltered, meaning it is kept closer to the way nature made it. The honey is not overly processed or reduced to a generic sweetener. Instead, each jar preserves more of the natural flavor, aroma, color, and character that come from the flowers and plants the bees visit.
That matters because honey should taste like where it came from.
Arizona honey has a personality all its own. The desert landscape, native plants, seasonal blooms, citrus groves, and agricultural areas all influence the honey produced by local bees. With the launch of the new website, Clark Bees is giving customers a better way to experience those unique flavors for themselves.
Four Honey Varieties Available at Launch
The Clark Bees website is launching with four honey varieties, each with its own flavor profile and natural character.
Customers can choose from:
Mesquite Honey
Cat Claw Honey
Wildflower Honey
Citrus Honey
Each variety is available in both 12 oz jars and 9 oz jars, giving customers flexibility whether they are buying for everyday use, trying a new flavor, stocking their pantry, or creating a thoughtful local gift.
These four varieties were selected because they showcase the range of flavors that can come from Arizona honey. Some are mild and smooth. Some are bold and distinctive. Some are floral. Some are bright and refreshing.
Together, they offer a strong introduction to what Clark Bees is all about: high-quality honey, local production, and a deep respect for the bees and the land.
Mesquite Honey: Smooth, Mild, and Naturally Sweet
Mesquite honey is one of the classic honey varieties of the Southwest.
Produced when bees gather nectar from mesquite blossoms, this honey is known for its smooth, mild sweetness and easygoing flavor. It is a great everyday honey because it pairs well with so many foods without overpowering them.
Mesquite trees are a familiar part of the Arizona landscape. Their blossoms provide bees with a nectar source that produces a balanced honey with a clean, pleasant sweetness.
Clark Bees Mesquite Honey is a strong choice for customers who want a dependable, versatile honey that can be used throughout the day.
It works beautifully in hot tea, coffee, oatmeal, toast, biscuits, yogurt, homemade granola, marinades, dressings, and baked goods. It is also excellent as a simple drizzle over warm bread or fresh fruit.
For customers new to varietal honey, Mesquite is a great place to start. It is approachable, smooth, and naturally sweet, while still carrying the character of the Southwest.
Cat Claw Honey: Bold, Robust, and Distinctly Desert
Cat Claw honey has a stronger desert personality.
Named after the Cat Claw acacia plant, this honey reflects the rugged beauty of the Arizona landscape. Cat Claw plants are known for their hooked thorns and their ability to thrive in dry, demanding conditions. When they bloom, bees are drawn to their blossoms, producing a honey with a more robust and distinctive flavor.
Clark Bees Cat Claw Honey is a great option for people who enjoy honey with depth and character.
It is the kind of honey that stands out. It is not overly delicate or forgettable. It has a flavor that can hold its own with heartier foods and richer pairings.
Cat Claw honey works well with rustic breads, biscuits, cornbread, roasted vegetables, strong cheeses, charcuterie boards, grilled meats, and warm drinks. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or pork, adding natural sweetness and a deeper honey flavor.
If Mesquite honey is smooth and mild, Cat Claw honey is bolder and more assertive.
It is a true desert varietal, and for many honey lovers, that is exactly what makes it special.
Wildflower Honey: Floral, Seasonal, and Naturally Varied
Wildflower honey is one of the most familiar and beloved honey varieties because it captures the diversity of a blooming landscape.
Unlike some single-source varietals, wildflower honey can come from many different flowers blooming in a particular area during a particular season. That means its flavor can naturally vary depending on what is blooming, where the bees are foraging, and when the honey is harvested.
That natural variation is not a flaw. It is part of the beauty of wildflower honey.
Clark Bees Wildflower Honey offers a floral sweetness that feels classic, comforting, and versatile. It is a honey that works in almost any kitchen because it pairs well with breakfast foods, drinks, snacks, baked goods, and everyday recipes.
Wildflower honey is excellent for sweetening tea or coffee, drizzling over pancakes or waffles, mixing into yogurt, adding to salad dressings, baking into muffins or breads, or pairing with fresh fruit.
It is also one of the best options for customers who want a honey that feels familiar but still has more character than the generic honey found on many grocery store shelves.
Every jar of wildflower honey carries a little snapshot of the season and landscape where the bees were working.
That is what makes it special.
Citrus Honey: Bright, Light, and Refreshing
Citrus honey brings a bright and refreshing flavor to the Clark Bees lineup.
Produced when bees gather nectar from citrus blossoms, this honey has a lighter profile with a subtle citrus influence. It is not sour or sharp like citrus fruit itself. Instead, it carries a gentle brightness that makes it especially enjoyable in drinks, breakfast foods, and lighter recipes.
Clark Bees Citrus Honey is a wonderful option for customers who like honey that feels clean, fresh, and uplifting.
It pairs especially well with herbal teas, lemon water, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, toast, pastries, salad dressings, and light marinades. It can also add a beautiful natural sweetness to spring and summer recipes.
Citrus honey is often a favorite for people who want something a little different from a traditional honey profile. It is still sweet and smooth, but with a bright note that makes it stand apart.
For customers building their first Clark Bees order, Citrus Honey is a great addition alongside Mesquite, Cat Claw, or Wildflower because it adds variety to the pantry.
Why Raw and Unfiltered Honey Matters
Clark Bees honey is raw and unfiltered because honey should be enjoyed as close to its natural state as possible.
Raw, unfiltered honey keeps more of its natural character. It can include small traces of pollen, natural enzymes, and the subtle qualities that make each batch unique. While many commercial honeys are heavily processed for uniformity, raw and unfiltered honey maintains more of the flavor and texture that comes from the hive.
That is one of the reasons customers seek out local honey in the first place.
They want honey that tastes real.
They want honey that reflects the flowers, climate, and land around the bees.
They want honey that has not been reduced to a bland, over-processed product.
Clark Bees believes honey should still feel connected to nature. The color may vary. The flavor may vary. The texture may vary. Those natural differences are part of the experience.
When you open a jar of Clark Bees honey, you are tasting more than sweetness. You are tasting the work of the bees, the timing of the bloom, and the landscape that helped produce it.
Local Honey from Florence, Arizona
Clark Bees is based in Florence, Arizona, an area surrounded by desert beauty, native plants, agriculture, and seasonal blooms that help shape the flavor of local honey.
Operating 3,000 hives requires skill, care, and constant attention. Beekeeping is not simply placing boxes in a field and waiting. It involves monitoring colony health, managing hive locations, responding to weather and bloom cycles, harvesting responsibly, and supporting the bees throughout the year.
Behind every jar of Clark Bees honey is a team that understands the responsibility of caring for bees and producing honey with integrity.
Clark Bees is owned by Allen and Cheryl Clark, whose commitment to quality, local production, and responsible beekeeping is central to the company.
“Launching our website allows us to share the unique flavors of our honey with a wider audience while maintaining our commitment to sustainability,” said Allen Clark, Co-owner of Clark Bees, LLC.
The new website helps Clark Bees reach more customers while staying grounded in the values that matter most: quality honey, responsible beekeeping, and respect for the land.
Supporting Bees, Biodiversity, and Responsible Beekeeping
Honeybees play an important role in supporting plants, agriculture, and local biodiversity.
At Clark Bees, beekeeping is not just about producing honey. It is about caring for the colonies and recognizing the connection between healthy bees, healthy plants, and healthy ecosystems.
Sustainable beekeeping requires thoughtful hive management, close observation, and a willingness to work with nature rather than against it. The bees depend on the land, and the land benefits from pollinators.
That relationship is central to the work Clark Bees does.
By purchasing Clark Bees honey, customers are supporting a local Arizona beekeeping operation that values responsible production and long-term hive health.
That support matters.
It helps keep local honey accessible. It supports a family-owned business. It helps sustain the work of beekeepers who care deeply about the bees and the quality of the honey they produce.
Available in 12 oz and 9 oz Jars
Clark Bees is launching its online store with honey available in two convenient jar sizes: 12 oz and 9 oz.
The 12 oz jar is ideal for customers who use honey regularly. It is a great pantry size for families, tea drinkers, home bakers, and anyone who likes to keep quality honey within reach.
The 9 oz jar is a great option for trying a new variety, gifting local honey, building a sampler-style order, or keeping a smaller jar on hand for occasional use.
Both sizes make it easy to enjoy Clark Bees honey at home, share it with others, or explore multiple varieties at once.
Customers who are new to Clark Bees may want to try several varieties side by side. Tasting Mesquite, Cat Claw, Wildflower, and Citrus together is one of the best ways to understand how different honey can be depending on the flowers and plants the bees visit.
Honey is not one-size-fits-all.
Each variety brings something different to the table.
