An entrepreneur, a honey industry veteran, a food products developer and a beekeeper make up the team that created Honey Stinger energy gels and bars. A few years ago, these four, armed with research touting honey as an excellent source of carbohydrate for athletes, combined their skills and experience and developed a natural, honey-based energy gel. Today, that product is available in specialty outdoor retail, natural foods, running and bike shops across the country. Honey Stinger is popular with athletes from all manner of sports and the company sponsors events, athletes and teams across the US.

Located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, EN-R-G Foods, Inc., was founded in 2002 to bring convenient honey-based energy foods to consumers. Additional information about honey may be obtained from the Honey Info section of our website.
