I like to use raw, unprocessed honey, either Trader Joe's or YS Organic.

We use local honey. If you have access to it, it's supposed to be better for you than store bought.

I buy local, from a local beekeeper, they are not hard to find.

See if there is a beekeepers association or club in your county or state, google it.

I've heard it's best to eat honey from local bees.

Unprocessed & raw.

also check out the National Honey Board, just www dot honey dot com.

Tonn's from Lehman's in Ohio. Several varities, I have their premium being delivered today.

I can buy honey locally but Tonn's flavor is superior to anything from the grocery or that I can get locally.

I do buy pretty much any brand.

My husband uses a lot of honey & he's not really picky about it. He just likes the flavor.

I don't really support the idea that local honey has any better health properties than honey from any where else. It sounds romantic & it's good for local people, but I have read up on it & I don't really think it's a benefit.

I do buy local honey. Mostly because they bottle it in a really cute jar that I like to re-use, but I also buy Member's Mark at Sams Club.

I buy honey from a local beekeeper. Such a big difference than what you buy in the supermarket.

Savannah Bee honey's Sourwood honey. I love that stuff and sometimes pick up a jar when we're somewhere that sells it. It is expensive, so it's a treat and not our usual honey.

Savannah Bee has honeycomb and LOTS of honey related products.

It’s called “Texas Honey Blend” by Kelley Honey Farms in Texas. Not sure where we bought it but probably Reasor’s or Walmart.

My family eats local honey given to us by my husbands best friend.

I avoid honey, as my system cannot tolerate it.

If you can find "Thyme" honey, I like the taste of that the best. It's a teensy bit spicy as well as sweet. Mind you, It's honey from thyme Flowers, not honey with Thyme the herb in it. I also like raspberry flower honey. Nothing wrong with wildflower honey but if you can try different flower origin honey why not do it. Buckwheat honey is VERY strong and less sweet. I need to mix it with another honey to use that one.

@Sooner- I remember years ago when Savannah Bee was a line of products at Bath and Body Works. I loved the magnolia hand cream, royal jelly body butter, and lip balms. Then, all of a sudden, they were gone. It happend with another line at BBW too, Aquatanica Spa.

@Nightowlz My son in law has allergies, and he buys honey that's collected from bees that feed within a quarter mile from him. It has helped calm his allergies considerabilly. If you don't worry about allergies, just make sure you buy from a reputable US producer. China has a bad rep.

@SandPiper

I never cared much for honey from stores but I do like the taste of local honey. It is so much better!
