Each sauce features honey sourced from different regions of the U.S. as the primary ingredient, alongside carefully chosen peppers, white distilled vinegar, garlic, and onion powder. These hot sauces provide a unique sweet and spicy taste to complement various dishes such as scrambled eggs, pizza, and oven-roasted chicken. They contain less than 10 calories and 2 grams of sugar per serving and are free of preservatives and artificial flavors. The suggested retail price is $4.99-$5.99 per 6oz glass bottle.

By incorporating 100% American honey into traditional hot sauce recipes, Local Hive aims to offer consumers a range of sweet-heat options while supporting American beekeepers by providing a new outlet for their honey.
