Honey is a baker’s best friend. It contributes to exceptional flavor, performs essential functional roles, and is marketable.  Learn about honey--varietals, forms, uses in baking and the bees that produce it--with our partners at the National Honey Board.  The NHB will ship a honey tasting kit to sample during the virtual session.  You must register by May 6, 2024 to receive that kit, but may participate even without it.

The National Honey Board is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group that educates consumers about the benefits and uses of honey and honey products. Our research, marketing, and promotional programs are funded by an assessment on domestic and imported honey and are designed to increase awareness and usage of honey by consumers, the foodservice industry, and food manufacturers.

The National Honey Board (NHB), which operates under the U.S. Department of Agriculture oversight, is not a regulatory agency and does not have powers of enforcement. The Board is prohibited from using funds to influence legislation or governmental action or policy.

The NHB is authorized by the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996 and was established under the rules and regulations of the Honey Packers and Importers Research, Promotion, Consumer Education and Industry Information Order, effective May 2008.
