  Global Strategic Partners Distribution, Inc. invited us to the "County Fair" themed relaunch of Sue Bee Pure Honey at the Grand Hyatt Manila last Friday, July 5, 2024.  The event was hosted by Rovilson Fernandez, and hilariously featured a Taylor Swift impersonator to bring in a "Miss Americana" flair. We enjoyed honey-infused welcome drinks and took in a fun albeit lip-synched performance of Taylor's classic hits "Cruel Summer" and "Shake it Off" before turning our attention back to the  real agenda of the day.  Sue Bee Pure Honey now comes with a fresh, modern and vibrant new look that suits the consumer's  dynamic lifestyle and reflects the brand's commitment to pure, high-quality goodness and tradition of excellence.  The product is made of 100% pure honey that is naturally harvested from honeycombs created by honeybees from flower nectar.
