HONEY! W hen you have one of the largest apiaries in New England - which uses honeybees that dance and pollinate the cannabis flowers growing on Nova Farms - you’re probably going to wind up with honey that takes on a different form. In this case, it’s the form cannabis takes when naturally infused into organic local Berkshires honey and then formed into portable, easy to use and dose, gorgeous honey sticks that can be dropped right onto anything from ice cream to honey to make a normal dish dosed-honey-kissed. And if you ask Steven Van Zandt about them, it’s just another stop on the path to cannabis and plant based wellness he’s offering with his Underground Apothecary products in partnership with Canna Provisions, who grows the highCBD cannabis flower used in Little Steven’s Underground Apothecary Prerolls, also available at Canna Provisions. “We’re excited to continue to expand our partnership with Canna Provisions with the Beautiful Buzz Honey Sticks,” said Van Zandt in a statement. “Our new Beautiful Buzz infused purple Honey Sticks came after the launch of our prerolls [and] we knew we wanted to also have something sweet for people who didn’t smoke or just wanted a special treat.” The honey sticks will be the first of the fun edibles being produced as part of the partnership, and Van Zandt endorses them as a non-smoker but seeker of plant benefits. “They’re great on their own but also amazing in our Ginger/Manuka or Kava/Manuka tea.” Find Beautiful Buzz Honey sticks at Canna Provisions Holyoke adult-use dispensary at 380 Dwight Street. www.cannaprovisions.com
