The wait is over—our Maine Life feature is now live! Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we craft our all-natural, bee-friendly sodas right here in Maine, and meet the people behind the buzz.
Watch now and see where the magic happens!
We love when good ideas grow close to home—especially when they start with our friend and farmer, Gary, from Replenova Farm in Durham, Maine. Gary had a vision: to take the organic turmeric he was growing and turn it into something refreshing, unique, and truly local.
He came to us at Green Bee with a simple question—could we help him turn his golden root into a soda?
The result? A bold, bright, and bee-friendly turmeric soda that brings together our honey-sweetened approach with Gary’s homegrown passion. It’s a celebration of local ingredients, collaboration, and creativity—and we’re proud to share it with you.
It all starts at Replenova farm, with organically grown Turmeric.
Fresh turmeric
We then process the turmeric by chopping it finely, steeping into hot water, and finally pressing the remains to squeeze out any remaining juice.
We then mix in Wildflower Honey, and fresh Lemon Juice, and allow that to heat together.
After heated and then eventually cooled, we will then send the liquid to our bottling machine.
After bottled, it reaches the labeler:
That gives us the final product! You can find it exclusively at Replenova farm!
We’ve been busy behind the scenes designing fresh new Point of Sale (POS) materials to help Green Bee stand out on your shelves—and in your coolers! From bold signage to eye-catching shelf talkers, our updated materials are designed to tell the story of our local, bee-friendly sodas and sparkling waters at a glance.

We’re proud to share that Green Bee has been selected by Real Maine—a program of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry—for their upcoming feature celebrating producers who support pollinators, beekeepers, and local farmers.
To bring this story to life, Real Maine teamed up with Maine Life, the Emmy-nominated show that highlights standout Maine businesses, and came to tour our facility in Brunswick! They got a behind-the-scenes look at how we brew every bottle with real ingredients and a mission rooted in sustainability and support for the hive.
We’re honored to be the only soda made in Maine that not only uses real, whole ingredients—but also champions the bees, beekeepers, and farmers who make it all possible.
Catch our segment on News Center Maine this August! We’ll share the air date as soon as we get it—stay tuned!

We’re thrilled to announce a promotion in the hive—Xander Wing, our new Brewmaster and outdoor enthusiast extraordinaire!
Xander’s a master of many things: brewing, fishing, mushroom facts, and holding a plank longer than seems medically advisable (seriously, over 10 minutes—we timed it). When he’s not crafting the perfect batch of Green Bee soda, you can probably find him waist-deep in a stream with a fishing rod in hand or tending to his impressively large collection of house-grown mushrooms.
His love for the outdoors is matched only by his passion for flavor. With a finely tuned palate and a serious eye for detail, Xander brings nature’s balance and a whole lot of heart to every bottle we make.
Next time you sip a Green Bee, you might just taste a little sunshine, and a hint of adventure!
Our Director of Sales, Drew, recently participated in the UNE Symposium - Buzzkill: The Impact of Pollinator Decline on Food Diversity and Human Health.
Honey Offers A Myriad Of Benefits To Our Bodies And Our Environment
Health Benefits
Honey has a lower glycemic index relative to sugar and is gentler on our bodies, releasing energy in a steady manner. Honey is the OG of prebiotic and gut healthy ingredients. It contains antioxidants that help the body fight inflammation as well as protect our cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Honey also soothes sore throats and upset stomachs. My grandma swore by it!
Nutrient Rich
Honey is not just empty calories but contains small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Because it’s nutrient rich, honey provides everything your body needs to survive. In fact, the plant compounds in honey may help with weight loss by reducing our appetite.
Flavor Rich
Honey is a celebration of flowers for your taste buds. Really. It has a unique depth of flavor that is derived from the various flowers foraged.
So Much More Sustainable
Choosing honey helps support bees, beekeepers and farmers. They need our help! Out of the 100 crop varieties that provide 90% of the world’s food, 71 are pollinated by bees. Crazy, no? Unlike other sweeteners, honey is processed naturally by bees. Such a lower carbon footprint…
Hand crafted beverages with real ingredients, real flavor, and the natural sweetness of honey. The difference is Real!
