PRUDUCED BY BUSY BEES, HONEY-A NATURALLY GOOD-FOR-YOU SWEETENER-IS AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY OF FLAVORS

The color and taste of honey are determined by a bee’s nectar source, and—according to the National Honey Board—more than 300 kinds, or varietals, of honey are produced in the United States. Examples include mesquite, tupelo and blueberry. The sweet, sticky substance also comes in several forms, such as liquid honey, wax comb, cut comb (liquid honey with comb chunks) and crystallized whipped honey.
