Supermarket Honey NOT REAL ?

[daddymikey1975]

I am deathly afraid of flying insects that buzz and can sting. Maybe an unfounded fear lol.

I have no idea how folks find it in themselves to keep bees lol

Props to you

Forever I do believe. Maybe not foreven but I do think honey was found and eaten for a tomb in egypt.

Most local apple growers also sell honey.

It isn't just honey bees that are taking a hit I have noticed the bumble bees are on the decline too.

A long time, but honey can and will crystalise in the container. Just put it into hot water and it will go back to normal. Had that happen to virtually all my containers of honey over the winter. It's a pain but nothing big. Doesn't change the taste at all.

Honey is indefinite.
I hate anything that flies and buzzes. Even big flies. Doesn't have to bite or sting, still puts me on edge. I would slap a hummingbird out of the air if I was fast enough.

You can buy real honey right off of Amazon. I buy everything on Amazon. I would buy local if I knew anyone. And thanks for the link to the sellers.

Hunters Honey in Martinsville I believe is still available at our local Krogers, but also along the M'ville Bypass. Good stuff.

Just out of curiosity, what's the shelf/storage life on honey?

Like the other guys said, it does pretty much last forever, but for long-term storage it should be in glass jars and kept in a cool dark place (same conditions as are recommended for storing almost all foods).

If (when) it crystallizes, just leave it alone. There is no need to re-liquify it until you're ready to use it. You will also notice that it darkens a little with age, but that doesn't affect the nutritional value or taste.

For a long while hunters was supplying local meijer stores with honey but they don't anymore. You can still visit their store, find them at several of the local farmers markets and state fair, or do online orders

I've heard that he was getting a lot of his honey from china, Meier found out and that's why he's not selling there anymore. Definitely don't know that as fact, but that's what the "buzz" has been.

Likely its an unfounded fear... yes, you will get stung eventually if you have bees but unlike wasps, bees only sting once, and their sting is much more "tame". My wife used to be like you... she HATED bees...

But just the other days she was mowing right past the bee hives as if there were nothing there. The bees were extremely active, thousands of them flying right past her head. She does this several times a week and has never been stung... if you think about it, bees are busy, busy, busy, and the only thing they ever do is work. They know that it's suicide for them to sting you, and doing so doesn't help the hive at all unless they feel it is under attack. They are very non-confrontational about it and they will only sting if they feel its their only option.

I have bees primarily to supply myself with all natural sweetener for baking etc. I only sell honey if I have a big surplus. Last year I had a big surplus and sold about 40 lbs of honey. I'm expecting to have a surplus again this year. The honey-locust bloom was good thing year...

I worked with a guy that raised Honey Bee's and he could catch a Bee by the wing's as it was hovering over a Coke can or plant. Crazy as hell!

Another vote for Hunter's Honey Farm. Incredible honey, and great people.

They sell it in gallon jars, pints, and five gallon buckets (buy in bulk & save...I do).

Greenwood Farmers Market always has a guy selling local honey. He's on the Indiana Beekeepers website, but I can't remember who he is right now. We usually buy a couple quarts a summer.

Found some honey from Nashville Indiana. Even has a piece of honeycomb in the jar. Taste great and I know it's real. I'm happy!

After my Cousin started keeping Bees a few years ago I will never eat store bought honey again. I had a jar of store bought in the cabinet when he gave me the first quart..It went in the trash that same day.
I really like eating fresh honey comb with a cup of coffee.
