Nice honey place. I might have bought it from Walmart if they didn't only have some Jemima-looking…read morestuff. I bet Jemima didn't start out being 127% sugar like fifty years ago.
Anyways. Yeah really nice lady. Very pleasant to correspond with. Donna, I think? I should know her name... I mean she dropped off honey at the door all through the pandemic once a month. It was great. Well, not for free, not like Santa Claus, I did have to buy it in bulk. I think it was like ~44 bucks or so. That gets you about 2.5 kg of honey but later the threshold cost for deliveries grew larger. Like 60 or 70 bucks worth. Well, it was time to get out of the house but I mean, c'mon, who are these people? Only bears eat that much! Are there black bears in the economy now? No wonder I can't get a job. But she always smiled and waved..must be nice. Or maybe she was just glad to be delivering to a human..instead of a bear for a change.
Those boxes were packed very tight and cozy, by the way...never any nick on the jars..more professional than Amazon. Lol. As if I'd ever trust that delivery conglomerate with food. And always exactly what I ordered...not that I'd know the difference...they're all honey.
The store is stocked with so many different kinds of honeys...and descriptions...like what region it came from and what season, wildflower or clover or sourwood, and if they taste like berries or if they're bitter or spicy or evaporate in your mouth like dry ice (no actually, none of those last three things). Their descriptions are definitely thought out, however. There was one, I think it said it was 'for kids' or something, and when I tried it the taste was exactly like a slice of childhood drinking honey out of those bear-shaped bottles.
They come in 1kg and 500g jars. Around $20 for 1kg. Also there's a 3kg pail, which might be a gimmick but it's on the website so...bears, of course. Some really nice ones get sold out too...like the BrrrGirl one, or BeeGirrrl, or something. I dunno, it was tasty. Maybe the bees took it back. Absolutely Pure is the brand they always have. It's good.
There are some interesting mixes as well. I got a honey with lavender...creamed honey...like a spread to put on toast and fries (don't put it on fries). Wonderful! Also, honey with bee pollen in it. What a rich flavour! I didn't try much after that but they have many concoctions and I bet they're all worth it.
You can buy wildflower honey or raw honey as the two main categories:
Let me warn you, if you have that golden flowing liquid nectar of the gods vision in your head then go with the first one, that's the real honey. Raw honey is the one that's like...vegan..like kale...it's like OJ with pulp when no pulp is so much smoother so why would you bother. Raw is the grainy one, it's the one that solidifies in the cupboard and you have to put it in warm water to rejuvenate it. Get it because it's 'raw' (big applause) or get wildflower, because it's honey.
Chapstick-They also have chapstick. They make everything from bees...it's wild. Beeswax chapstick is like wearing the diamond ring you stole from your best friend...the bees will smell it! They will find you!! But I bought it. Actually, bees don't hover around and stab your lips with stingers. Never saw any come close. It just makes your lips smell nice and stay moist.
Pure comb honey-This stuff is good! Oof. It's costly and I only ever got it once but it is just the best stuff. All the honey still in its shell, and you get to eat the comb...which is that hexagonal lattice we stole away from those hardworking bees...oh I hope they don't pass on the knowledge.
Candles-I got some nice candles here. They have a lot of candles, candle sculptures, made from beeswax. Candles will teach you there's a difference between things being expensive and things being unnecessary. I don't think these are that expensive.
