Fruit juice gummies “Brothers Bears”: unsafe but delicious!
It’s hard to find a child who doesn’t like sweets. It’s even harder to find parents who would buy them with a clear conscience. That’s precisely why we came up with the idea of creating a sweet that you’d want to try first and foremost for its taste, whilst its ingredients would be a pleasant surprise.
And so the fruit juice gummy sweets with Honey Bear Bros were born. In these sweets, sugar has been replaced by Lithuanian honey; the colours and flavour come from fruit and berry juices; and the ingredients are enriched with vitamins. From the very first days on the market, they quickly became one of the most popular ‘Brothers Honey’ products, won a gold medal in Lithuania and gained recognition in Scandinavia.
Why have ‘Bear Bros’ won over children and parents so quickly, how do they differ from ordinary rubber toys, and where can you buy them? Find out all about it in this article.

Price range: €6.60 through €12.10Fruit juice gummies with honey "Brothers Bears" - what makes them special?
Fruit juice gummies “Broliai lokiai” – the taste of Lithuanian tropics exploding in your mouth. They are coloured by the sun, smell of ripe fruits and berries (lemons, cherries and passion fruit) and, most importantly, the sugar has been replaced by Lithuanian meadow honey. Tasty but not too sweet.
Bear Bros – These are much healthier sweets compared to the range sold in supermarkets. ‘Brothers Honey’ sweets are fortified with vitamins and rich in nutrients beneficial to the human body. The fruit juice-flavoured gummy sweets contain folic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. The composition is very similar to that of beauty vitamins, except that the Bear Bros gummy sweets are much tastier. They contain Lithuanian honey – one of the most valuable bee products – but bees also provide other natural treasures, such as bee bread, pollen, royal jelly and bee pitch (propolis).

As if that were not enough, the Brothers’ Honey gummies have received recognition and appreciation abroad. At the Nordic Organic Food Fair & Eco Living Scandinavia in Sweden in 2023, Broliai Bears honey gummies instantly won the hearts of Scandinavians and were named finalists in the Best New Snack category.

Children speak the truth. From the very beginning, fruit juice and honey gummies “Brothers Bears” have been the first choice of children among other sweets. As they say, you can’t fool the little ones.

Children are also intrigued by the presentation of the fruit juice and honey gummies: ‘We are “Brothers Bears” or, as the children call us, twin brothers Ignas and Vilius. We’re much more fun together! And it’s twice as much fun and tasty to feed two of us! Do we grumble when we get brothers’ names? It is a great honour for us! And here’s a sweet riddle for you.
