All the flowers and bees that went into that production, we thank you!

My grandpa has worked for Adee Honey Farms since he was 16 years old. He’s 83 now. Still works hahaha. I’ve gotten so much of this honey over the years. It’s great!

I am a truck driver who used to haul honey from a warehouse in New Jersey to Ohio. The loads were very heavy and tricky to know where to set your tandems. Your facility and process is impressive!

I was lucky enough to get a personal tour by Mr. Adee of the entire Bruce location and think back to it often. I am super pleased they made this video. And I thank him and his family for the wonderful tour several years ago. They are the largest Beekeepers in America.

There is no such thing as Organic honey, bees will fly all over the place to collect pollen and nectar, There is no test that can be done on the honey to see if it was harvested from chemical free plants. You could have one field of sunflowers that are not treated with chemicals, and 2 miles away have a field of canola that is treated with chemicals, the bees don't know the difference, and bring the nectar into the supers. Organic honey is a marketing term, it means absolutely nothing.

So just one question..... where are all the bees?
