The heater is built for use with 120 volts AC, drawing 1 amp thus producing 120 watts. It has a fixed internal low level thermostat set to maintain a temperature of 100 ºF / 37 ºC (± 10 ºF/5 ºC). The BB05 band-style insulated pail heaters allow you to safely control the temperature of your honey. It delivers a barrier of uniform directional heat where it’s needed most to help with extraction and crystallization while maintaining optimal temperatures. This innovative heat-spreading technology insulates, protects and maintains just the right amount of heat for your honey. If you’re in the business of honey, then lend us an ear, because our Bee Blanket™ is going to answer some of the common problems you deal with in the honey industry. For example, we know that working with honey effectively is a matter of maintaining the proper viscosity. But heating honey through traditional methods poses two common problems. You could cook out the enzymes and antioxidants that make it so good for us, and you can even end up burning it. That’s why Powerblanket has designed the Bee Blanket, a solution specific to the honey sector. The difference with the Powerblanket heating solution is that it maintains the same temperature as a hive. With our low-level internal thermostats, you don’t have to worry about heating your honey too much. The Powerblanket Bee Blanket keeps your honey at hive temperatures so that it won’t lose nutrients or burn. The Bee Blanket is the new gold standard honey heater.

I'd would prefer to give it 4.5 because I think it might be made a tad more convenient. I do use this for 5 gallon buckets of honey with honey gates on them, and I wish I would've bought this years ago.PROS: It liquefies honey and makes it super easy to bottle. Easy to use, and has what seems like a high quality clasp for the strap. I had about 3 gallons of fairly well crystallized honey (not rock hard yet, but definitely not stir-able) that it liquefied in about 3 days without stirring (maybe less since I didn't check). Ambient temperature averaged about 67 degrees F. Materials/Product seems well made. I can't speak to longevity and durability, but so far it seems to work well for the several days of run-time I've had it on a bucket. I will update my review next year if I have any input.CONS: Not really true 'cons' here... The location of where the power source attaches might be better located near the bottom, but this could also make it easier to accidentally crimp/crush the cord with a 62 lb honey bucket. I think it could also benefit from a 2nd strap lower on the blanket. There also seems to be too much excess material on the bottom of the blanket. It's nearly 2 inches wide, so it has a tendency to push the blanket up and/or away from the bucket. None of these are deal breakers from me, than just observations that may make it even better. I know the manufacturer states they're happy to customize their products for us, but these changes are likely low cost for them to do.Ambient temps do matter, so keep your expectations realistic if your trying to warm a bucket in your 40-50 degree garage in the winter. Maybe keep it off the floor and surround it with some cheap insulation, or even old blankets.I'll probably buy another one of these to make it easier to just 'bottle on demand' for my honey customers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent answer for Honey Warming in 5-gallon pails! *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016* I'm just a small amateur beekeeper looking for a good way to warm my 5-gallon pails of honey safely and efficiently. So when I spotted the BeeBlanket on Amazon it looked like something that might work well for me.My order arrived quickly (thanks Amazon Prime) and after a quick inspection it was wrapped around a full pail for warming. After 24 hours my honey went from 62°F to a nice 104°F in a room with an ambient temperature of roughly 68°F throughout the process. Also, I placed my cold pail on a chunk of ridgid foam insulation to minimize heat transfer from the cold floor.Admittedly I haven't warmed a stone-cold pail of crystallized honey with it, that will be later. Warming and re-liquefying a 5-gallon pail of honey would be a multi-day project in my estimation. Slow and steady like the bees...So far I'm impressed with the BeeBlanket and it's working good for my purposes. 104° honey is easy to strain and bottle plus it's safe for the honey! Using a 120 watt insulated blanket seems efficient to me and it worked quite well. My Kill-A-Watt meter is currently monitoring the power consumption so I'll update this review later.PowerBlanket also offers a version of the BeeBlanket that has a cutout for a honey gate (BB05GV) so that's on my wishlist for the future.UPDATE: After running my BeeBlanket for a full 24 hours on a cool bucket of honey my Kill-A-Watt meter gave me a daily cost of 0.08/day for an operating cost. (Power rate here is 0.102/kh) Seems like that's a pretty reasonable way to warm 5 gallons of honey. I'm sold on this! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works; Needs Insulation when Temps are Below 70F *by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018* Works great. Unfortunately I needed to wrap the entire unit with a comforter to get the honey to liquify, otherwise it was forever recrystalizing on the bottom! I was using the blanket inside a 65-70 degree room in our small apartment. It seems like the blanket has a very specific heat output, and it doesn't change when the outside weather gets colder; so you need to take measures to keep the area around the bee blanket at 70 degrees or more, or else insulate it somehow. I wish there was a very similar product out there with a thermometer and variable heat output so that it would be user-friendly to operate; for now there is the bee blanket and we made do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/72369170-powerblanket-bb05-bee-blanket-5-gal-pail-heater-honey-bucket](https://www.desertcart.us/products/72369170-powerblanket-bb05-bee-blanket-5-gal-pail-heater-honey-bucket) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
