Oh Honey....

When you think of bees, your thoughts inevitably turn to honey. Honey should not just be used on special occassions, enjoy the natural goodness of Bee Well Honey every day! Studies suggest that a tablespoon of local honey each day may actually help some people who suffer from nasal allergies. During a visit to the store you may be able to see the honey being bottled by our staff. Large stainless steel tanks hold Wildflower, Sourwood, Echinacea and Orange Blossom honey. This raw, unfiltered honey is bottled into 16 oz skeps, 12 oz bears, pints and quarts using an automatic bottling machine. Honey is then stored in a climate controlled room until it is delivered to area retailers.

Bees collect nectar from many floral sources and sometimes they will concentrate on a single species of plant during a short time frame.  This results in several varieties of honey that have a distinctive flavor such as Sourwood or Orange Blossom.  On a  visit to the store, you will be able to sample several varieties of honey and decide which sweet treat you want to take home. You may decide to purchase a jar of each !  
If you have a preference for the basic sweet taste of Wildflower honey or the distinctive Sourwood honey of our region,  you will find various sizes of each on our shelves.
