Now that we’ve accomplished our two spring honey harvests, we’re happy to announce our full honey product lineup. Look at these cuties! This honey is the last of Ōmishima island’s citrus bloom season, so it’s a nice light golden color and very sweet, with a subtle taste of citrus. Now we have all four of our jar sizes, so we can officially show y’all everything we’ve been working on behind the scenes.
Benton Homestead honey can be shipped directly to your doorstep, throughout Japan! We use JapanPost Yupack for fast discount shipping. Please use the shopping cart feature, or browse all the listings by visiting our complete online shop. We also accept payment via Japanese bank transfer, so please message us for details.
Benton Homestead honey is now available at:

We’re so happy to have honey and stickers finally on shelves, not only because we care a great deal about our honey bees, but also because this is a big step towards maintaining our Business Manager visa, and therefore, our life in Japan. We’ve been working towards this point for a very, very long time.
Friends, thank you for bearing with us during this busy time. We have many more blogs and videos we would like to share soon, but as you can imagine, it takes a lot of time to write, film, and edit, videos with content that presents valuable information in an easy to understand format. We’ve been filling our days with honeybee hive health inspections, abandoned farmland restoration, weeding, weeding, weeding, honey harvest, honey jarring, preparing for hive splits, preparing for veggie harvest, and running around doing all the little steps to get our products in stores!
Thanks for reading,
Dani & Evan Benton
