"Honey to the Bee" is a song from Billie Piper released in 1999. It peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart and was released on March 15, 1999. In January 2007, the song was championed by Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles as part of an experiment to test out the new UK Singles Chart rules that came into effect that month, which prompted the song to reach number 17 in the UK Singles Chart on 21 January 2007, and number 11 in the UK Download Chart.
