Purchasing Bulk Honey

[stevenfox25]

Hello, I am not only new to mead making but i'm also new to this website so forgive me if this has already been asked or needed to be posted in a separate area. My question is, where is a good place to purchase honey via an online resource. I'm not able to find any local places at this point in time and i know some people have good luck buying out of state online. I'd appreciate the input and i hope to be starting my first batch of mead rather shortly.

Where are you located? The shipping prices can be steep, so it helps to try to find an online source closer to your location, rather than something across the country.

I'm in Central Kansas, yes i figured shipping could be an issue.

Have you tried the local beekeeping association?

They can probably help you find someone close to home who can supply you with some honey.
Gotta find the local beekeepers, to find the local honey

I think that is an indirect quote from Pooh Bear.

What ever you do, buy local honey from a local beekeeper you can trust and not just some guy on the side of the road who says its local. The Chinese have now invaded the US and are dumping their adulterated crap that has all the pollen removed so its origin can't be traced. Sometimes its not even honey but adulterated corn syrup.

At the risk of offending some folks might i suggest wal mart. I have used their pure n simple honey for years to make my basic show mead and it does well. It is (true source) certified and is a very good quality product for the money. I just bought 4 5#jugs for around $14.50 a piece i think
