Green Bee is the first soda made with real fresh squeezed juices and sweetened exclusively with honey. Founders Chris and Lori Kinkade are backyard beekeepers that started making drinks for their family using honey from their own hives as a sustainable, lower calorie, alternative to traditional sodas. Starting with small batches in their kitchen in 2010, Green Bee has quickly grown into a full brewing and bottling facility in Brunswick, Maine. "Green Bee is a brand that is changing how people view soda," said Lori Kinkade, Co-Founder of Green Bee. "You can taste our commitment to real ingredients in every sip and feel good knowing that every bottle helps support farmers, beekeepers, and honey bees."

Green Bee's lineup of craft sodas and sparkling waters are distributed to natural food stores, grocery retailers and fine restaurants nationwide. For more information about Green Bee, please visit www.drinkgreenbee.com
