8. The ONLY way to KNOW for SURE...

Keep your own Bees!

Even local roadside honey can be mostly HFCS reprocessed through a Bee.
Many vendors feed their bees HFCS even during the supposed Honey Flow.
Its cheap and easy, and doesn't depend on Nature to provide natural forage.

Last year was terrible here in Central Arkansas.
By late May, the heat & drought had killed the clover and most of the natural wild flowers.
We had to feed our bees (cane sugar solution) to keep them alive.
Naturally, we didn't take off any of this Cane Sugar Honey.
And, yet, just down the highway a stand that sells "Natural, Organic Honey" had a great year.
Go Figure!

This year looks GREAT so far.
The Honey Supers are heavy,
and we are looking forward to harvesting some honey next week!


Decentralized, small scale BeeKeeping is the answer.
Fun too!
