What’s inside, and what isn’t
We keep it short and honest. Here’s every ingredient, why it’s there, and the full nutrition facts.
Filtered water
The base of every bottle: clean, filtered water.
Organic honey
Our only sweetener. It gives Bee’s Water its soft, rounded taste, without refined cane sugar, stevia or artificial sweeteners. TODO: confirm organic certification is recognised in Great Britain (UK–US organic equivalence) and add certifier code if required
Vitamin C
Added as ascorbic acid. Each 473 ml bottle contains 180 mg, which is 225% of the Nutrient Reference Value.
Plant extracts
Organic elderberry extract in Native Blueberry, and organic turmeric extract in Golden Ginger Lemon and Tangy Lemon, for flavour and character.
Every flavour also contains organic flavouring, citric acid and fruit or vegetable juice for colour. Full ingredient lists are on the flavours page.
Nothing you wouldn’t want
TODO: confirm each “free from” statement with Bee’s Beverage Corporation, and that “gluten free” meets the UK limit of 20 mg/kg
Bottles are PET (plastic number 1), which is widely recycled in the UK. Please rinse, pop the cap back on and recycle.
Vitamin C, the facts
Each bottle is high in vitamin C. Here is what that means, in the wording UK law allows.

A note on sugar. Honey is a sugar. Each 473 ml bottle contains 23 g of sugars (4.9 g per 100 ml), all from honey, and 90 calories. We’d rather you knew.
