National Honey Month is a celebratory and promotional event held annually during the month of September in the United States. Its purpose is to promote American beekeeping, the beekeeping industry, and honey as a natural and beneficial sweetener.
Honey — it’s a sweet and delicious substance that adds great flavor to morning toast, creates decadent desserts, and even packs some serious nutritional benefits. This September, during National Honey Month, we are psyched to celebrate all the ways that honey enhances our lives. Find out exactly why we love this festive month, and learn key moments that have taken place during honey’s history.
September is significant for honey producers as it is the month that marks the end of the honey collection season for many beekeepers in the United States.
Honey Is A Health Aid: Dating back to ancient times, honey has been used throughout the world for its medicinal purposes. The next time you have a cough, try reaching for a jar of honey since the World Health Organization reports that honey is able to coat and soothe throat irritation. Honey is even known to help heal canker sores and relieve dry skin.
It's A Natural Sweetener: Honey is excellent for curing almost any sweet tooth. Unlike some highly processed sugars and sugar-like substances out there, honey is chemical free and found directly in nature.
Honey Might Help You Sleep Better: In short, honey causes insulin levels to rise, and when this happens, serotonin gets released throughout the bloodstream. Serotonin gets converted into melatonin, and melatonin has been known to aid in getting you off to dreamland.
HISTORY: The awareness month was initiated by The National Honey Board, a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) founded and overseen organization in 1989.
