The Best honey in the world
Some years ago, a customer told us: "There may be better honey than your Tupelo somewhere on this earth, but we've never found it." Another customer enthused: "I tasted this honey from someone who thinks this is food from the gods . . . and wow, he was right!" So what makes tupelo honey so special? In one word - flavor! This wonderful American honey has a fruity-floral sweetness that is mesmerizing without being overpowering, combined with a buttery soft texture that melts in your mouth. The only way to really appreciate this amazing honey is to try some for yourself - straight from the jar on a spoon. After that, use it with everything - on a hot biscuit, in your tea, or with your oatmeal. But be warned - tupelo honey may spoil you forever.

The Tupelo kings • the true tupelo people
Smiley Honey was started in 1989 by Donald Smiley. Like many great business startups - he first began working out of his garage. Donald came into beekeeping later in life, and he says it was like falling in love all over again. At the height of his operations, Donald had over 1,000 beehives and he was producing some of the best tupelo honey in the region.
Let customers speak for us
Great folks with which to do business. Incredible honey, tupelo, that is. Excellent prices and delivery
We have bought from Smiley Honey several times and it is by far the best. Also we just recently had an issue with one of our orders where 2 bottles came broken, and within 1 hour of emailing about the situation I received a reply letting me know replacements were on the way. That is exemplary customer service. Definitely buy as much as you can.
Ten years ago, I moved to my home here in North Carolina, and I began exchanging gifts with neighbors. Nothing big; mostly candies, baked goods, etc. But I didn’t want to give folks the same things they were giving me. The one pound sampler set is the perfect solution. Now, they always tell me they look forward to a new type of honey they’ve never tasted, as well as that wonderful Tupelo. Thanks, Smiley.😃
I bought two bottles of Mango Honey before Thanksgiving. The consistency is thinner than other varieties, but that's not a bad thing. It has a delightful tropical fruity flavor, and it is very sweet. I took advantage of the sales promotion and ordered another six bottles before it's sold out. Smiley Honey makes me smile and never disappoints. Highly recommend.
Good quality. Sturdy and well-made. Very pleased overall.
My Premium Tupelo Honey arrived bringing a delicate flavor from Sea (Atlantic Ocean, Florida) to shinning Sea (Pacific Ocean, California.) I have bought Tupelo Honey from two prominent online producers before and am surprised to say that tasting Smiley Honey's Premium Tupelo Honey is new-found joy. The viscosity and accompanying flavor evokes visions of beehives on barges, while fragrant tupelo tiny blossoms sway in the May winds above them. This brings me a sincere appreciation for the bees and beekeepers gathering this nectar of nature to deliver to honey enthusiasts, or just amateurs like me. Thank you.
I knew I'd love this honey, because lychee is my favorite fruit - I was not disappointed! This is in my top 2 favorite honeys of all time (the other being honey from blackberry flowers)! It has such a light, airy flavor that's highly floral, a little bit fruity, and perfectly sweet <3 It's almost warm, and it's well rounded at the very end of the flavor profile. It's fantastic, and I'd recommend it to any honey connoisseur!
This is another delicious honey from Smiley Honey, which has never disappointed me. The honey goes perfectly with my morning 12 grain toast with extra crunchy peanut butter topped with sliced banana and dusted with cinnamon and allspice. Another winner from Smiley Honey.
A real tasty sweet honey that is delicious on my multigrain toast with extra crunchy peanut butter. I can only imagine how good it would be on homemade buttered biscuits. A true winner.
I’ve never had Lychee honey or ordered from Smiley Honey.
The honey arrived quickly and was well packaged. The honey had a sweet, delicate flavor. Delicious.
I have placed (I think) 3 orders with y’all and have never had an issue. Packaging is very good at preventing a super sticky mess while in route. Love the Tupelo honey! Thanks
My son asked for high quality orange blossom honey for Christmas. Of course, I ordered extra for my husband and myself. We couldn’t wait to open ours and it is amazing! Also ordered Tupelo honey, which is excellent as well! Thank you for such high quality products!
