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
www.honeylocator.com 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!

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

Thanks!

From memory (and I've sent let my membership expire), they couldn't
have been more than 3-pound bottles. Of course, they sell you six 3-pound
bottles at a time, right?

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.

http://www.suebeehoney.com/store/pro...p?productId=19

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.

wild Blue Ridge Mountain Honey, comes in a mason jar, very dark....
