Think local when buying honey

Posted by Pinky Bean on May 14, 2008 9:54 AM Filed Under: Food

Bees may travel thousands of miles to collect the nectar required to make honey, but that doesn't mean your honey needs to come from such a far distance. By supporting your local honey industry, no matter how small or how large of an operation it is, you're helping keep the beekeeping industry alive and right now with the bee population in some trouble, that's pretty important.

Finding local honey doesn't have to be a difficult or time-consuming process. Visit your local farmer's market this summer and your bound to find locally-produced honey. If you don't have a farmer's market close to where you live, use online resources to find the closest source of honey to where you live. The website for Bee Culture, the American beekeeping magazine, offers a list of beekeepers across North America. If the keepers don't produce honey themselves, there's a very strong chance they'll know where you can find someone local who does. Likewise, the Canadian Honey Council also provides a listing of honey suppliers in the country divided by province.

Visit Bee Culture online to start sourcing local honey!

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day Here is a great example of how little changes make a difference: If all of the 70+ million office workers in the United States used just one less staple per day they would save 900 tons of steel a year! Now don't you feel a little better about recycling those bottles and turning off those lights? Keep it up!
