In this episode of In With the New, Avril Tomlin-Hood interviews Aja Horsley, founder of Drizzle Honey. Aja shares her transition from environmental science to launching a sustainable honey company, and discusses industry challenges such as bee health and fake honey.

Drizzle Honey’s focus on sustainability means ensuring that the honey created and sold to consumers is farmed in a way that keeps bees healthy and safe. Methods like putting the bees in wildflower fields which have blooms from spring to fall allows them to graze for a longer period of time, resulting in a more sustainable approach to honey production. Aja also discusses the health benefits of honey and why Drizzle Honey is raw and unfiltered.
