What is National SugarBee® Apple Day?
National SugarBee® Apple Day is dedicated to the SugarBee® variety of fresh apples. SugarBee® apples are a naturally occurring apple variety grown in Washington state. Their crisp juiciness and honey sweet flavor provide a wonderful apple eating experience, perfect for snacking, baking, saucing and more. SugarBee’s flavor leans toward the sweet side with notes of honey, caramel and molasses. A touch of acidity adds a complexity that you make you crave your next bite and exclaim “Oh Honey, that’s good!”™
Why was National SugarBee® Apple Day created?
SugarBee® apples were developed by honeybees. One sunny day an adventurous honey bee was flying through the orchards collecting pollen. The bee transferred pollen from an unknown apple variety to a honeycrisp apple blossom. Mother Nature did her part and the SugarBee® apple was born! This day is dedicated to the SugarBee® apple and the growers who work hard every day to grow fresh, healthy, crisp and tasty apples for families around the world.
