A Very Sweet Season Is Buzzing In!
Rosh Hashanah is coming up fast, but high honey season doesn’t stop at the Jewish holidays. Here’s what’s happening in the apiary, and how to get a jar of pure Galilee harvest onto your table—no matter where you live or what you’re celebrating.

“Chagei Tishrei” (Rosh HaShannah to Succot) is right around the corner, and the clock in the apiary is ticking faster than our honeybees' buzzing wings.
At Neshika, Miri, Chaya, Kirin, and Dave—along with a few hundred thousand four-winged staffers—are working at full hive-power. We are harvesting, extracting, hand-bottling, and wrapping up gift sets. Authentic, raw, artisanal honey doesn’t come off an industrial assembly line. It takes precise timing, honest labor, heavy lifting, and a lot of care.
We’re calibrating our final holiday bottling runs right now to match incoming demand. But once this batch is spoken for, that’s it for the season.
Not Just for the High Holidays
While Rosh Hashanah puts honey center stage for apple-dipping, our harvest doesn’t care about calendar boundaries. Real raw honey is a secret weapon for the entire fall and winter holiday gauntlet:
Thanksgiving: Perfect for honey-glazed roasted carrots, sweet potato dishes, cornbread, or a bourbon-honey turkey glaze.
Christmas & Winter Holidays: Essential for holiday baking, glazing hams, sweetening mulled wine, or elevating a cold-weather charcuterie board with sharp cheeses.
Gifting: An actual jar of homemade small-batch honey from the Galilee makes a thoughtful, distinctive gift that easily beats another generic bottle of wine.
If you’re ordering from overseas, locking in your order now means it arrives well ahead of the autumn and winter holiday rush.
A Note for Our Overseas Friends
We get asked all the time if we ship internationally. The short answer: Yes, absolutely. We love sending a piece of Israel to holiday tables around the world, and your support from afar means everything to our team.
The honest caveat: honey is dense, glass requires serious protective packaging, and international postage rates reflect that. Flying liquid gold across oceans isn’t cheap. But if you’re eager to bring Neshika to your table this year—or send a taste of the Galilee as a gift—we are more than happy to pack up a box for you.
A quick tip for shipping abroad: Combining jars into a larger order or splitting a shipment with a neighbor helps soften the freight cost per jar significantly.
Reserve Your Harvest
Take a quick look at your calendar, count your guests, tick off your gift list, and lock in your jars and holiday baskets today so you don’t miss out on the fresh harvest.
Sweeten your table early. Skip the rush, avoid the last-minute scramble, and get the good stuff. [ Supplies are Limited, so Order / Reserve Your Honey Today https://neshikha.com/shop/]
