Not all honeys are created equal - most honeys aren't honey, tests shows.

I try to buy honey from local producers here in AZ. There are plenty of them.

No need to go to the supermarket.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just saw a documentary about food safety - or the lack of it - and it scared the bedjeezus

out of me. Some people will di anything for money - even prepp food with dangerous chemicals and other strange stuff. I find myself buying more and more local food. I figure if I eat better and a little less that I used too, I can afford to eat high quality food.

 
I read that article too and am so glad I support my local honey people.

We even have a few apiaries in SF! So far I like the Potrero Hill bees the best, haha. Imagine, being that much of a locavore that you like one hill versus another's for honey flavoring. {{snicker}}

 
I read somewhere that if you have mild hay fever-type allergies,...

eating honey produced in your region can act like a homeopathic treatment to your allergies. I always buy locally, and am currently buying from a coworker who is a bee keeper by hobby.

 
Cath, I have read that too. I do have hay fever and therefore eat local honey

religiously. I have to say, I think it helps because my allergies aren't as bad as they used to be. Then maybe it's age (allergies get better with age) or the fact that beliving it works makes it work (aka the placebo effect).
