I Lurrrrve me some raw unfiltered unheated honey--the stuff that comes in a jar and looks like yellow margarine and requires a knife to apply to toast or fruit.

I have tried Y.S. Organics and the White Gold Canadian brands.

There was a new brand at Wild Oats called Apitherapy Honey made by this company www.honeygardens.com. It was less expensive than the others (about 7.49 for a 1 pound glass jarful).

It is the BEST tasting brand I've had. Apparently the bee's the use are collecting from blueberry fields. The honey is so fruity tasting, it's unreal.

Highly recommended!

We get honey direct from a local bee keeper. He uses my FIL's land so he gives us jars and jars of delicious local, unproccessed, unpasturized honey for free. I feel truely blessed and grateful. So thick you have to either heat it or spread it with a knife on warm toast. Yum!

We've got a couple great local beekeepers in my area. I make honey mead, so I like to buy in bulk. I can often get raw unfiltered wildflower, fireweed, and blackberry honey for $2.50 a pound. I love the stuff!

I tried making mead once, but it flopped.
