Honey Ltd. were a 1960s girl group made up of sisters Alexandra and Joan Sliwin, Laura Polkinghorne and Marsha Temmer.

The group members began singing with each other at Wayne State University. They formed the Mama Cats and began performing in local venues with other Detroit-based musicians like Bob Seger (who wrote both sides of their first single), Glenn Frey and Suzi Quatro. The group relocated to Los Angeles where they auditioned for producer Lee Hazlewood who signed them immediately and took them to the studio to record with backing from the famed Wrecking Crew. He would later rename them Honey Ltd.

The group didn't have much commercial success and only released one album. Their version of Laura Nyro's Eli's Comin' was well received but was eclipsed by Three Dog Night's version released a few months later. In 1969 the group joined Bob Hope on a USO tour and headed to Thailand and Vietnam to perform for the troops. Television appearances in 1968-1969 included The Ed Sullivan Show, The Joey Bishop Show, Kraft Music Hall, The Jerry Lewis Show, The Andy Williams Show, Operation: Entertainment, and The Bob Hope Christmas Special: Around the World with the USO.

By 1970 Alexandra Sliwin had dropped out of the group to marry J D Souther. The remaining members continued as a trio with a name change to Eve. The new group released another album that went unnoticed and were subsequently dropped by LHI. They split up shortly after and went on to varied musical careers as singers and songwriters.
