I have been using Flying Bee Ranch honeys. They sell from Salem, OR and they are the real deal. They keep the bees, they offer pollination services, honey, and even hive removals for bee infestations. You can find them on ebay if you search under honey, or just e-mail them at flyingbeeranch@comcast.com. They offer a couple of premium honeys like meadowfoam and corriander blossom as well as fruit varietals and clover and wildflower blends. They ship very very well and very very fast, I usually get a gallon of the premium varieties at a time and they are reasonable and extremely good.

I've been looking into mead making and followed the Honey Locator link and found a local honey supplier of unprocessed Orange Blossom honey @ $2.00/lbs. when I supply the container.

$2/lb isn't bad. I pay less and get the free bucket, but I'm in a different area of the country (and prices could be rising from the last time I bought a few months back).

Where do you get your honey from Jezter6? Near Baltimore? The SWMBO and I are heading up there sometimes soon to catch a couple Os games and at that price I'd make a special stop.
