It's one of those gifts to be able to enjoy something so good that's so local. Yes, though bees everywhere seem to be in trouble, there are at least two active bee farms (?) right now that I know of.

I grew up in early '50s south Alabama and have great gustatory memories of my father's oyster stew, the only food he prepared beside Sunday pancakes. The backwoods of the Florida Panhandle hold another delicious treat - tupelo honey, it the bees have survived. Many years ago my mother's boss shared precious jars of tupelo honey from the Panhandle and that's a taste I'll always remember. Enjoy! Thanks for the memories of winter oyster stew.

It has taken me a while to find the local foods -- I hope to blog about that as well. Glad you liked the review. Yes, I can relate!

I do my best at the "localvore" thing here in VT--lots of wonderful dairy and seasonal veggies, but the seafood options are obviously limited.
