About

Honey is a thick golden liquid that bees make from the nectar of flowering plants. The bees produce the honey through a process of collecting nectar and then regurgitating the nectar. Then water evaporates from the nectar to produce the material we consume and know as honey. Bees perform the vital service of pollinating fruits, legumes, vegetables, and other types of food-producing plants in the course of their business of honey production.

Buying and consuming locally produced honey comes with a whole host of benefits, see below to find out more!
