Shelton then frequently returns to the stand over the next few days, buying more and more products (which, as the video changes scenes from the stand to Shelton's living room, the room becomes more and more filled with products from the stand) from the lady in order to ingratiate himself with her, until one day he passes the stand and sees an "out of business" sign. Totally smitten with the lady's lovely "innocent country girl" features and warm pleasant manner, Shelton purchases a jar of " Tupelo Honey" from the seller. The video features Shelton stopping at a roadside stand, where a sweetly-attractive young woman (portrayed by Amra Silajdžić) is selling honey and other related products. It was filmed in California, and directed by Trey Fanjoy.
The music video premiered on NBC.com on May 10, 2011. The lines "You'll be my Louisiana, I'll be your Mississippi / You'll be my Little Loretta, I'll be your Conway Twitty" refers to the Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn duet " Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" on the album of the same name. He then changed the word to "honeysuckle", and came up with the line "You be my honeysuckle, and I'll be your honey bee." Akins said that he thought that "it was a different way for the guy to say, 'we should date, I love you.'" Akins said that he first thought of writing a song called "Huckleberry" after seeing an article in Billboard magazine about former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.
Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, two-thirds of the "Peach Pickers" writing ensemble, wrote the song. "Honey Bee" was released to digital retailers immediately after the broadcast.
Blake Shelton debuted "Honey Bee" at the Academy of Country Music awards telecast on April 3, 2011, where he also sang " Who Are You When I'm Not Looking".
