Local Honey Sources Near Boston

[Mountain]

Hi all,

I've made a couple of meads before, but I want to step up my meads a little, and I think a fresh local honey would be the way to go. I was wondering if anyone knows of any sources of good local honey in the Boston area.




Thanks a lot,

Mountain

Google/Google maps search "apiary" or "beekeeper" in Boston. http://www.essexcountybeekeepers.org/index.shtml and Roberchar Apiary came up as first results.

I would have linked to www.justfuckinggoogleit.com, but I'm at work.

I am not near Bean town, but http://www.honeylocator.com/ might be your best bet. Call up the folks listed and go from there.

Also hook up with a local bee keeping association and work out a trade. Some folks are selling local honey for up to $10 a pound.

The other option is to do like I did and get your own hive for your honey source. $180/5 gallons/60lbs gets old after awhile, and that is CHEAP!!!
