Store-Bought Honey Imposter?

Store-Bought Honey Imposter?

Why should you buy honey from a local beekeeper?  There are MANY reasons but one of the most important is if you are buying honey from a store you may not be getting a crazy good creation  at all!

Tests Show Most Store Honey Isn’t Honey

BY ANDREW SCHNEIDER

Here is their list of the store-bought honey that contains NO POLLEN!

Once again…it is in YOUR BEST INTEREST to shop locally and to educate yourself about the foods you are eating and feeding to your family!

I found this article and many other interesting ones at Food Safety News, a most informative website regarding breaking news about the foods that are available for our consumption.

Again, I say, EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!
