Honey To The B is the debut album by pop singer Billie Piper, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). Billie (she was known at the time only by her first name) was the first British female artist to have a first single debut at #1 on the UK pop charts.

The album spawned a number of hits singles including "Girlfriend, "She Wants You", the anthemic "Because We Want To", and the title track "Honey to the Bee". "Honey to the Bee" was later covered by Swedish girl group Play for their 2003 album Replay. The American version of the album differs in that it contains the radio mix of "Girlfriend", while the Japanese version includes a bonus track.

The single Honey To The Bee re-entered at number 17 in the official UK Singles Chart on 21 January 2007, 8 years after initial release, thanks to efforts by BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles.
