I have heard that you should eat local honey and it will give you some immunity to allergies with local flora and fauna.

New Jersey has about 190 farms with 9,000 colonies that yielded 360,000 pounds of honey with a production value of $569,000 in 2008. That compared with 2007 when 513,000 pounds were collected with a value of $1 million.<br />I like the bee decor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112170969287680782.post-26389086116672245692010-01-30T13:56:33.735-08:002010-01-30T13:56:33.735-08:00Loved the table ware with little bees.

They moved to the city and can no longer keep their bees.<br />The plate and silverware are lovely! <br />While shopping for apples in the Georgia Mountains this past fall, we found some Queen Bee soap. It had a lovely honey color and had been molded with a lovely bee hive and bee on top. I thought, what a great gift to add to my Christmas baskets ...honey soap from North Georgia ...turned it over and found it was from France.

We didn't have much fruit either. We put in a huge garden and we had more produce than I ever dreamed possible. I know it was the bees. I started giving my bees sugar water this week as I live in California so it was warm. The hive looks great, we hope to rob it in June. We just ordered our from a apiary and got them from UPS.
