Thanks for the site. My dad loves comb honey, so I’ll get some for him and myself!

We buy honey by the 3 lb jug and have been happy with every purchase. Have not bought their jellies though.

Blech! From now on, if I want honey, I’ll milk the bees myself! But their udders are so tiny!

Here in Vermont, I buy local honey in 5 pound jars. Great stuff.

Allergies are so bad here in the sacramento valley. Local honey has been in my families diet and it has been a HUGE help. Local honey is the only way to go.

NEVER buy any food from China. IMHO.

Lots of local honey here in Michigan, but I love orange blossom honey from Florida, too. It’s so aromatic...and is awesome in tea in February.

I’ve only bought local honey. It’s great and my allergist says that, yes, it really does help with allergies. Not as good as shots, but it really does help reduce them.

Mr. mm had horrible allergies when we got married. We moved and improved our diets some and added local wildflower honey and his allergies have improved greatly.

Our friends own a farmer’s market & we buy delicious dark, local honey from them....... It’s the only way to go!

My honey purchase is very local, like within 5 miles and it is the best ever.

Definitely try to find local organic honey, because it contains the antidote to local pollen allergies. Try farmer’s markets or a health food store.

Try to find the source for ALL the things you put into your body (including what you put ON your body like lotions or makeup as they go into your bloodstream too).

Almost every state has a beekeeper’s association or apiary association. They will list several local sources for honey.

Isn’t that the truth?!

Bad enough trying to figure out what’s good for you and what isn’t, only to make sure the “good” food isn’t poisoned crap from China!
