The National Honey Board (NHB) had a successful 2018 filled with interactive consumer, media and industry initiatives that positioned honey as a versatile and delicious product for any lifestyle. From partnerships with top chefs, bakers, brewers, and brands to delicious retail promotions, the NHB worked hard to keep honey top of mind for consumers, foodservice and food manufacturers alike in 2018.
