Honey available online?

Does anyone have any good sources for Honey online? I'm going to make cider and use honey as a substitue instead of sugar this year.

If you live in the UK, beedata.com will tell you where your nearest honey supplier is. If not, Google might be able to tell you if there is a apiary near you.

That all depends on how much honey, and what variety. Start at

to find apiaries near you. If it turns up a friendly neighborhood beekeeper, you could always stop in and taste all the varieties before choosing!

If you're not feeling real picky, clover and wildflower both work just fine, and almost every beekeeper will have them available. Save yourself a bit on the shipping charges and find someone local.

He looks to be in Rochester NY. The =only= honey to use, period, is Sue Bee Clover honey. I have used it exclusively for 26 years+, and it has never disappointed me. It is high, $6.50 for 2.5 lbs here, but worth it. Trust me. Ask your local store if they can get a larger container and order you a case. You won't regret it.

Bob, I see Sue Bee all the time at the local Costco, but I'm usually leery about buying anything sold at a grocery-type store for fermentation. Are you getting it in some less-mangled-than-usual state, or does Sue Bee come out pretty rich even in standard grocery distribution?

Thanks! WB

It is absolutely incomparable IMO. The delicacy of the bouquet and flavor suit me to a T. What is the largest container they carry? I've actually even considered calling a restaurant supply outfit, or contacting a local rest. and seeing if they can get 5 gallon buckets!!! Bob<

Well sue bee is far from being local in NY...I think it is produced in Iowa. There online store is a little thin...but you may be able to get some sort of wholesale deal from them.

 Of course, the raw honey product looks promising. Personally, i second using the honeylocator at Honey.com

I live here in Southeastern Ky and I buy lots of honey but have yet to make mead!

Ive used Sue Bee but found a locally purchased and produced sour wood raw honey (Thats not 40$ a jar!) to be a lot better quality in taste and boquet! The stuff is pure heaven!

It comes through

Griffin Produce Knoxville Tn 37916 (865)524-4972

Costs me 9$ for 2 3/4 pound jar (44 ounce mason jar) but thats retail and not from the Griffin Produce company direct.

All a mater of taste. I am not questioning Bob as I am sure Sue Bee is exactly what suits him. It is a very highly processed honey and a long way from being raw. For eating or for mead I much preffer a good dark honey with plenty of bite. Yes Sue Bee is very delicat. To the point of being like thick sugar water compared to the honeys I like. (But that is me.) You should try some different honeys to see what pleases you.
