Originally thought to be named after Minneola, Florida, Davidson Brothers calls them Honeybells. We'd like to invite you to participate in our yearly Honeybell season by making sure your order is placed well in advanced ahead of January. This will let us know how much demand we have for Honeybells this year. 

At Davidson Brothers we have many fruit trays, and baskets filled with this wonderful rarity from Florida. And like all things grow in our groves, it's been tree-ripened to perfection. We refrain from using harmful chemicals that can cause damage to the plant and to your health. 

Why are Honeybells so good?

Honeybells are grown in the coldest time of the year for Florida, which is why their season is so short. The cold creates a sweet fruit that is unlike anything you can find in the store, and in some ways they resemble the sticky goodness of a tangerine. The peel on the outside is a good indicator that what you're about to partake in is a rich delicate fruit that is completely unique in appearance. 

Honeybells are one of our favorites at Davidson Brothers and we encourage you to place an order for this year's season. If you need help ordering the correct amount, just give our customer service team a call at (386) 252-7462.

As you know, citrus comes in a variety of flavors and options. Some are sweet, some are tangy, and some are sweet and tangy. There are obviously more choices than the ones I just listed, but I think you get my point. One of the rarer forms of citrus happens to be the honeybell, which is known for it's juicy sweetness that only comes during a couple months out of the year. Why? Simply put, the climate conditions do not allow us to grow them all year round, and that's why they are a rarity to find. You can typically find honeybells during the end of December - Janurary, but I'd like to introduce you to a new honeybell called baby bells. 

Baby Bell tangelos are a favorite for us, because they offer the same sweet juice as their bigger brother the Honeybell. They also make a great size snack that's perfect for those on-the-go. If you order honeybells before the January 1 Shipping date we automatically will add $1 to the price and send the recipient a Festive Gift Card letting them know your gift is on the way!

Again, baby bells are related to the honeybell which means that you can only get these during Janurary. Our new countertop box will come fitted with 13 baby bell tangelos that will surely put a smile on your face each time you grab one to eat. We have a variety of trays to choose from that range from 25-50 baby bells depending on your needs. 

Our customer service team can help you decide how much to order. Just give us a call at (386) 252-7462. We are located in Daytona Beach, Florida at 248 South Beach Street. Our store is open 9-5 M-F and 9-2 on Saturday. 

Florida Honeybell Tangelos

Honeybell oranges are a very popular choice for citrus lovers. In some ways the Honeybell can be called a delicacy due to it's sensitivity to the cold and other elements. Honeybells also require special care when packaging as to not damage the outside. It takes a specially trained team that cares about their product, and we at Davidson Brothers have the care it takes to bring you the best Honeybells around.

Our Honeybell season is quickly approaching (January). Due to the nature of Honeybells we strongly suggest planning ahead to ensure you get them during their peak flavor. Honeybells can be considered a hybrid fruit -- half tangerine and grapefruit; although, most people still consider them to be oranges. 

If you have any questions about Honeybell oranges please feel free to contact us directly at 800-987-8667. 

The tangelo,  Citrus × tangelo, is also widely known as the honeybell. Tangelo is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a tangerine and either a pomelo or a grapefruit. The fruits are the size of an adult fist and have a tangerine taste, but are very juicy, to the point of not providing much flesh but producing excellent and plentiful juice. Honeybells generally have loose skin and are easier to peel than oranges. They are easily distinguished from oranges by a characteristic "nose" at the top of the fruit.
