Our Story
Honeypop isn’t a soda you stumble on — it’s one we reimagined. The same team behind Green Bee (Maine’s trailblazing honey-sweetened soda brand) challenged themselves to push the boundaries of what refreshment could be. After over a decade of crafting real-ingredient, honey-forward sodas, we asked: how do you build a soda that does more than quench thirst? How do you make one that supports your gut—and the planet—with every sip?
That question led to Honeypop: the first honey-powered prebiotic soda on the market. It’s not just lightly sweetened or naturally flavored — it’s designed with intention: to combine real, nourishing ingredients with science-backed functional benefits.
Where We Come From
Green Bee was born in a kitchen, amid beehives and experimentation. The story begins with a family and a desire to turn soda from a “bad word” into something real and redeeming.With fresh-pressed juices, herbs, and honey instead of refined sugars, Green Bee set a new standard for what soda could be. Over time, Green Bee grew — from kitchen batches to a full-scale manufacturing facility in Brunswick, Maine, distributing across the nation.
We built Green Bee on five guiding pillars:
Bee Natural — flavors from nature: fruits, herbs, roots
Bee Sweet — always using honey
Bee Real — handcrafted methods, transparent sourcing
Bee Sustainable — supporting bees, supporting local agriculture
Bee Different — innovating rather than imitating
These principles aren’t just background — they’re the soil from which Honeypop grows.
Why Honeypop Matters
Green Bee showed us what was possible: soda that doesn’t feel like an indulgence—but a small act of nourishment. But as we learned, good ingredients are just the start. Today’s consumers are more curious about function: “Is it gut-friendly?” “Does it support health beyond empty calories?” That’s where Honeypop steps in.
Honey-powered + prebiotic: We didn’t settle for sweetening; we fortify. Each can of Honeypop carries not only the flavor and character of honey but also a clinically studied prebiotic fiber that feeds your microbiome.
Transparent ingredient philosophy: We still lean on nature — real fruit, herbs, botanicals — but now with layers of purpose (e.g. prebiotic fibers, digestive-healthy botanicals).
Crafted with care: Our small-batch processes, quality controls, and ingredient sourcing carry forward the hands-on spirit from Green Bee.
Sustainability & bee advocacy: Our mission remains aligned. We support beekeepers, promote bee ecosystems, and keep sustainability at the core of sourcing and packaging decisions.
In short: Honeypop is Green Bee’s evolution. It’s everything we’ve learned, distilled, refined, and amplified.
Our Promise to You
When you crack open a can of Honeypop, you’re not just getting fizz and sweetness. You’re getting something intentional: a real-ingredient, gut-nurturing, bee-supporting soda. A drink crafted by people who believe that refreshment doesn’t have to compromise health or ethics.
We’re proud to carry forward the Green Bee heritage — and excited to pioneer what soda can become.
