Thankfully we live in farm country and there are a few beekeepers in our area that produce local raw honey.There are a couple of reasons why this is important to consumers:
Much of the honey for sale in the store is diluted with sugar.
Local bee honey is made from pollen from plants in our area.
There is real satisfaction from buying honey from a local beekeeper and getting the very best nature can offer. Some producers even have organic local honey, raw unfiltered honey, and raw honey comb for sale.
Here’s a list of the beekeepers we know close to Joplin, Missouri.
