Here are a couple facts about John's honeycomb! First off, it's local. It's not certified organic, since he can't control where the bees go, but he argues he has a lot of quality nectar from his plants around his farm, so if the bees are smart they wouldn't need to stray too far.He doesn't use any chemicals on the hive, no sprays, when handling the bees.The bees actually build the honeycomb directly into the packaging. He doesn't need to manipulate or handle the comb in order to fit it into packaging, so it maintains a nice appearance.
