Native bees and ecosystems are at risk. Around 80% of U.S. crops rely on pollination from non-native European honey bees, which are shipped and used on commercial farms and honey operations, leaving little for them.

The rest of our crops depend entirely on the original native pollinators, which are now at risk of extinction due to fierce competition from honey bees and environmental destruction. We're committed to promoting ecological balance by creating more space for native pollinators. By collectively reducing the consumption of commercial honey, planting more native pollinators, and protecting native habitats, we can restore biodiversity. Learn more here.

Our plant-based honey is the closest match to traditional bee-made honey on the market. Unlike other vegan honey alternatives, which are often made with a combination of other syrups such as rice bran, agave, coconut nectar, allulose, and gums, Mellody uses sugars and acids that are on par with bee-made honey. This unique approach results in a product that is just as sweet, sticky, and golden as traditional honey without the need for beekeeping.

Bee-made is about 80% fructose and glucose, and so is Mellody! Those are the two main sugars in bee-made honey, so we use them in a ratio. This happens by bees collecting nectar from flowers and then digesting the sugars in the nectar, which then become fructose and glucose once the enzymes from the bee’s stomach are introduced.

While agave and maple syrup are tasty sweeteners, MeliBio delivers a classic honey flavor that cannot be replaced by other sweeteners. Maple syrup needs to be stored in the refrigerator, while Mellody can be stored at room temperature. It’s also an easy 1:1 swap for bee-made honey, while agave and maple syrup are not.

We’ve received rave reviews from chefs and food service operators, who appreciate that Mellody delivers the same taste, performance, and texture as bee-made honey.

Mellody tastes, feels, and performs just like bee-made honey. It even crystallizes! It’s also a perfect 1:1 match to bee-made honey in all applications, whether you’re marinating, drizzling, baking, or sipping. Making it a favorite amongst our chef partners.
