GloryBee

I doing another review for Glory Bees Honey. I was disappointed in some honey that I had received in my resent order. I received a call from Betsy Kimball explaining in detail about some concerns I had with the honey I received. I now have a better understanding about the honey. She did a wonderful job of explaining everything. Thanks so much for the Meadowfoam Honey (that is the most incredible honey I have ever taste do) and the coconut oil (which is also the best coconut oil I have ever tasted). You can taste the coconut flavor in it. I can’t wait to mix the two together. What a healthy spread for toast or just eat off a spoon. I mix 1 cup coconut oil with ½ cup honey and mix well, store in a jar and enjoy. I will continue to buy Glory Bee honey and now coconut oil exclusively from Glory Bee.
Thanks so much!

GloryBee foods is a huge local success story that still loves to be there for the needs of us little guys. I’ve received tours of both the warehouse and production facility and I was always impressed by the cleanliness, efficiency, and smiles on the worker’s faces at both locations. The Factory Store is a great place for individuals to purchase craft supplies (candle & soap making!), treats as both natural ingredients and ready to eat, as well as all your beekeeping necessities. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and there’s an actual enclosed beehive where you can check out the inner goings-​on of a hive! Very cool for both kids and adults.
Definitely check GloryBee Foods facilities and their factory store out for yourself – it’s worth it.

Don’t let the big warehouse look fool you into thinking you can easily purchase your bulk items here. I went in for 5 gallons of food grade vegetable glycerin and was only able to purchase one single gallon that was on their dismally understocked shelves. I was told everything was in the warehouse which is connected to the store (literally it is just a walk through a door from store to warehouse) but neither of the two sales clerks were unable to procure my request or even another single gallon for me, I was told that; ‘I would need to call and order it and it could be shipped to me or I could pick it up at the warehouse’. I think that’s ridiculous and imho is no way to run a business. Since I live over fifty miles from Eugene it will be inconvenient at best to now call in my order and then make a return trip to Track Town USA. for something that was within the reach of the sales staff the day I came to make my purchase. Too bad the business community in Eugene doesn’t think fast on it’s feet!

Avoid their pinenuts like the plague! I purchased some of their bulk pinenuts from Whole Foods recently and came down with a case of «pine mouth syndrom» or PNS. If you’ve never heard of that, it’s not just you. I hadn’t either. And I wish I never had.
Turns out the pinenuts that GloryBee imports are from China. The majority of pinenuts from China are a variety called Pinus armandii, which has been deemed unfit for human consumption by the European Union food standard authorities. The FDA is currently conducting research to determine if the US should do the same. Why? Because until recently, that variety of pine was only harvested only for lumber, resin or turpentine.
While I wait for a ban on Chinese, and most likely other pinenuts imported from Asia, I am left with the effects of PNS… a bitter metallic taste in my mouth that makes EVERYTHING taste horrible. This can last up to 9 weeks!
Thanks for ruining my enjoyment of summer fruits, vegetables, and the entire BBQ season.

Ok. can I say fast service and great products 20 times fast?
No, not really, but it’s worth the try.
If your in the mood for organic bee products like organic raw honey or bee pollen, this is the place to buy your goods. Even if your wanting to learn how to become a bee keeper or if your in the mood to make your own soap… this place has essential oils and bases that will help you start on your new venture. SUPER fast shipping at a great prices.
I highly recommend Glory Bee for all your needs of becoming a busy bee.
