About Honey Bee
Honey Bee is a Canadian haskap valued both for its productive crop of tart-sweet blue berries and as a broadly useful pollinizer for other haskap cultivars. It is vigorous, cold hardy, and often fruits later than some companion varieties.
Growing Honey Bee Honeyberry (Haskap)
Plant Honey Bee in Zones 2 to 7 in full sun with at least one genetically distinct, overlapping-bloom haskap such as Aurora, Borealis, or Tundra. Harvest when fruit is blue throughout and ripe berries detach easily, usually in the early-season haskap window.
