| - Mmmmmm! And it's real and local!
I just read a report that tests show most store honey has the pollen taken out, which means that it's not really honey. They tested various stores' (many are found in Charlotte) honey supply filter out the pollen (which is not good). Having said all that, Cloister Honey is the real deal!
Cloister is a local company that not only sells honey, but has a bee farm. If you are so inclined to start your own bee hive, you can purchase a starter kit from them. Yes, there was another recent article about the decline of honeybees and I was seriously considering getting some until I learned that I'd probably be stung...a lot. Hey, those suits aren't 100% safe.
All reading aside...their honey is delicious! They also give you tips on how to use honey besides on bread...it's so fantastic on popcorn! Like others have mentioned, they have raw, infused, whipped, and flavored varieties. If you can't make it to where they are, you can also order online. While you may not easily part with $9 for a squeezable bottle of honey, you should think of the possibilities. Your money will support sustainable practices, a local business, your community, and your health!
