SugarBee

The SugarBee apple was originally created in Minnesota and has since been cultivated in Washington State.

SugarBee (CN121)[1] is a cultivar of apple grown in the elevated orchards of Washington State. The variety was discovered by Chuck Nystrom in the early 90s and developed in Minnesota. Today, SugarBee has worldwide propagation rights held by Regal Fruit International and is licensed to Chelan Fruit Cooperative in Washington to produce the variety in the United States.[2] It is classified as a "slicing apple" by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.[3]
