Honey Bee Haze
Also known as: Honey Haze, Bee Haze
Honey Bee Haze Strain Overview
Honey Bee Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely bred by crossing classic Haze varieties with strains known for their sweet, honey-like aromas. Breeders sought to create a Haze variant that maintained the cerebral, energizing qualities of traditional sativas while adding more complex flavor notes and slightly more body relaxation than pure Haze strains typically offer.
The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized buds that are typically light green with occasional purple hues, covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense buds, creating visual contrast. The flowers have a sticky, resinous texture that reflects their high trichome production. Honey Bee Haze plants typically display the classic sativa growth pattern with elongated branches and narrower leaves, though they may show some hybrid characteristics in their structure.
Notable features of Honey Bee Haze include its unique terpene profile that combines traditional Haze characteristics with sweeter, more floral notes. The strain has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its ability to provide clear-headed, creative effects without the anxiety that some pure sativas can produce. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Honey Bee Haze has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate nuanced sativa experiences.

Honey Bee Haze Strain Growing Information
Honey Bee Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space. Honey Bee Haze benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation, particularly during flowering when the dense buds can be susceptible to botrytis in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen during flowering.
