I def will continue to support this bee farm anytime travels bring me to KC…read more It's in a cute little building that instantly welcomes you up on entering. Being trans I still feel nervous entering unfamiliar areas, but I was made to feel welcome even before I entered. Jana is AMAZING, we talked honey, she discussed the cosmetic products they offer. I had a honey straw in the car from a variety which she wasn't familiar so we traded. Their Lemon infused honey is OMG DELISH. Jana even taught me something I didn't previously know how the lighter color honey is early season and darker honey is later in the season. Thank you for the education, I love honey and learning something new is always a big +. I will most definitely see you again next time travels being me to KC.

We walked…read morein and was immediately greeted by a super friendly man that we had met at the Ren fest this summer. We loved the products there, so came out to see the store. There are so many awesome things from soap, lotion, honey (infused, creamed and raw), pollen, earrings, necklaces, perfumes, etc. The candles of bees wax were amazing as well. This is a great place if you need an unique gift or to have some amazing products for yourself.

He had me at Habanero and Jalapeño raw honey!…read more I cannot recommend enough this place! I've always wanted to buy raw honey, because I've heard of how delicious and healthy they are for you! Jalapeño Honey: very spicy! Sweet and spicy honey can go with anything! From drizzling it over baked salmon at the last minutes of cooking to putting it on top of biscuits! Habanero honey: definitely more for people that can't take the heat, but just want a tid bit to satisfy their spicy craving! I will also definitely come back to try out their essential oil soap's because they smell so good and some of them actually even have raw honey in them. The owner and his wife own a farm and I love love love love that all their products are 100% natural. Owner is super friendly and very knowledgeable about his products and OMG I forgot to mention they even sell farm fresh eggs! They own different types of chicken so they look like Easter eggs because each egg looks different with patterns and colors! We bought the jalapeño jam and habanero raw honey today but we will definitely come back to try out the other types of honey and soaps!

I am an avid buyer of Ambrose Bee Pharm honey. Why? Bee-cause. Hahaha. I only buy local honey…read morebecause my doctor told me it's the best for us allergy sufferers. I have hayfever really bad, so I figured it couldn't hurt. Now I live in Seattle and I keep threatening to switch to Washington honey but something in me just won't let me fly away from the hive. I love the way this stuff tastes. I know it's honey and it should taste the same, but not all honey is created equal. I don't know what kind of hoodoo they put on the bees to produce such great honey, but I can't take my tea without it. I would pick me up a bottle every few weeks from the organic farmers market in south KC and now I'm hoping to get some through the Internets.

This is a bee 'pharm', run by a chemist and his wife who live near the UMKC/Rockhill area, where…read morethey manage about 30 hives around the city, raised strictly for their honey and, they say, they don't use sugar in the winter or move the bees around for agricultural purposes. They also don't use chemicals and stuff in their bee 'pharming', so this all gives their bees a better chance at the bee colony collapse thing, and makes their honey a little better for the bees and everyone. Anyhow, they sell the stuff at the Minor Park farmer's market, and on First friday's at Bad Seed in the east crossroads. Check em out! The competition for local KC honey is not too steep, so 5 stars until this place gets flooded with beeswax (city hall not included--ha!).

We made the drive from Olathe, KS to visit the Bee Store for some of the freshest honey I've had…read more It's located on the corner of a strip. The store is not too big, but has everything you would want that's made from their honey. Our main reason for going was for the 5 lb. honey. They also make chapsticks from the honey with lots of different flavors and different other items. The employees were super friendly and very helpful. Go check it out and support local small businesses!

This honey is the real deal. What do I mean by real deal? Can bees play poker? Blackjack?…read more Maybe. But my point is that this stuff is good. Found either roadside near Odessa, Missouri, or at the Kansas City Farmer's Market in downtown KC (3rd stall, the honey stall, look for the plaque), it is unfiltered (except for legs and stuff), gravity drained, unheated, wax in or wax out, sold in honey bears or gallon jugs, wildflower or non-wildflower. They also sell pollen but to that I cannot attest. The thing is, Liz and Bob Harrison, have been doing bee stuff for a long time. If you talk with them (they are friendly), you will soon find out that this bee thing is no happenchance, flash-in-the-pan operation. I've tried a lot of local honey, Coopers, Ambrose, and this stuff is the most raw you can get. Here are some prices at the farmers market, but they usually go up a little year after year. They may even mail-order if you call or email them (busybeeacres@discoverynet.com) Prices as of 2008: 12 oz. bear $ 3.00 - 3.50 1 lb. $ 4.00 - 4.25 24oz. $ 5.00 - 5.50 2lb. $ 6.50 - 7.00 3lb. $ 9.00 - 9.50 gallon milk jug. $ 28.00

I visited Busy Bee Acres' stall at the City Market on a Saturday morning (I believe this is the…read moreonly morning that they are there), after having been in email contact with Liz Harrison (half of the couple that owns and operates the apiary). I had a few questions and Liz was very prompt and helpful in answering them for me via email. She also made sure to set aside the amount of wildflower honey that I was looking for. All in all, it was a great experience. Not to mention, their honey is raw (unfiltered and unpasteurized) and delicious! A few more details: They had both clover and wildflower honey. A 5# container of wildflower was $17.00.

I got there so late that there wasn't much produce left.

This little family farm is so cute. The staff was friendly and there is a small shop where you can…read morebuy locally made goods, already picked apples, pumpkins and even some honey and syrups. They also have apple picking, although we were a little late in the season. We still got a few and they were reasonably priced. The activities include a bounce pad, hayride, playground and animal feeding. They also have great snacks for purchase - mostly apple themed stuff and grilled hot dogs, chips, etc (nothing fancy, but there are several tables and room to spread out. (We opted for Mini Cow town donuts at the food truck!) Overall, the atmosphere was quaint and the price was right. We'll be back!

Who doesn't love a good market!? The City Market is Kansas City's local open air market that allows…read morelocal Vendors of all kind to showcase their goods whether it be fresh fruits and veggies, art, jewelry, baked goods, plants, snacks, ramen, coffee, etc...legit everything and anything! While the game lets market is wide open on the weekend with booths of all sorts open for business, there are spots with permanent locations inside and along the perimeter. Those spots are where you will find the hot food and specialty drinks/snacks. The market is laid out nicely with several covered, but open air buildings and then an indoor space where the restrooms and other shops are situated. Another great thing about the market is it is a designated stop on the KC Streetcar, so getting to and from is a breeze, especially for those not familiar with the area. Also, it's fairly close to the river front, and is connected via paved pathway. Overall, great little market to spend some time wandering through, whether you have an agenda or just looking to experience a bit of local while in KC.

I saw the meter maid on patrol both when I got here and when I left. They are ruthless! The market is cool and while I was here to see the Arabia (only here until November than then going... they don't know where) but I took the time to walk around and to get a coffee at the unimaginatively named City Market Coffee House. The cortado was more flat white but it was tasty and delicious and it was nice to sit for a bit and people watch before heading to the riverboat. Lots of other food and drink options here and shopping too. [Review 830 of 2026 - 548 in Missouri - 26011 overall]
