Newbie Questions.

[Murdersbane]

Hello all im new to this and would like to make my first batch. I live in texas so if anyone else does and knows some answers to the location based questions it would be very helpful.

Q1: where is a place to get honey that isnt insanely expensive? (trying to get like 3 gallons of honey)

Q2: What yeast would be good for a 74 degree environment?

Q3: Is it bad to put in fruits/spices when your first making the mead? (ive heard conflicting things about this)

Also i read on that site (can't remember which post) they said that you should add additional ingredients to create the best environment for yeast. It will be easier and faster.
