Seen a older lady pulled over on the side of a back country road while on my way to town. I stopped and asked if she was ok. She was, and just pulled over to talk on her phone (smart!).
But when I pulled in behind her, I noticed she sells honey. She told me where her hives are. I've seen them about a 1/2 mile away as the bee flys from me, so local honey. She's actually my neighbor, that I just met. She has multiple hives, I would say 8 fully stacked hives that I can see from the road driving by. Her honey bees are probably partly responsible for pollinating my orchard and gardens.
She showed me one of her plastic food grade containers. Label said Raw Honey, ingredients Honey. it's was very dark, she said $12.00 a lb and that she delivers.
Afterwards, I was at rural king, seen 3 lbs, 100% light looking honey on a end cap for $9.99.
I didn't buy any honey today at all. I don't mind paying a little more to help support local. But $10 for 3 lbs vs $12 for 1 lb is not a little more, its a whole lot more.
