I like to put honey in my greens as they are cooking. I also like to add a little honey to my dressings for my lettuce salad.

Honey is fantastic. On a hot biscuit it is like a little taste of heaven.

Love good honey, just difficult to find anymore. I wish you success with your endeavor.
So glad to see young people going after their dreams. Keep following, God be by your side.
Always love local honey. Helps with everything for me from allergies to making my face feel amazing after a few minutes and then a good scrub.&
Great inspiration.
Before my mom passed away, I was always stopping to get her some more honey. Now, every time I see honey, it reminds me of my mom.
What a wonderful business you have started! I just recently gave a donation to help save our bees! Honey is great for many different reasons. It’s good for your health and it’s delicious. May you be blessed with much success in your endeavor! Work hard, have fun and you will prosper!
I grew up eating honey and really enjoy it. My grandad raised bees is where I was introduced to honey. I grew up in WV and came to TN to college and have lived in Knoxville since graduating. I am now 80 years old and think of my grandad every time I eat honey.
I love honey on biscuits, in hot herbal tea and many other ways to eat the delicious syrup.
Always try to buy Tennessee products. Supporting a young person doing good things is an added bonus. I buy local honey for the numerous health benefits too.
Love honey
Always use honey in cooking
There is nothing like honey and churned fresh butter on a cat-head
biscuit. There are endless uses for
honey.I wish Haley many blessings.
I eat a spoonful of honey daily for my seasonal allergies. It’s the best!!
I get honey from a friend in my church. Love it in my hot tea! My husband loves it with peanut butter.
I’m never without honey. In my oatmeal, cereal, on chicken and biscuits. Just a spoonful by itself. Love it. Thank you!
Loved the article in Home and Farm, spring 2024. I have always loved honey!
Thanks for sharing your honey, Haley!

My grandfather had bees…, many beehives.. .I grew up watching him and my dad harvest the hives and sling the honey.. there’s nothing better than honey fresh out of the comb especially on my grandmothers homemade biscuits! Now my daughter is a Veterinarian who eventually wants to get into beekeeping.. and her twin brother as well.. team effort! Thank you for being such a great advocate for bees and beekeeping! Keep up the great work.. you’ve inspired many! And not to forget how important… so important… our bees are as pollinators for our plants..,love it!!
It is wonderful to see a young lady doing something she enjoys so much. I pray you have a wonderful and fulfilled life. Always give prayerful thought in all you do and you will be just fine. Thank you for the story. I really enjoyed it.

Honey, one of God’s many sweet gifts from nature. Haley is an inspiration that should speak to all the young kids out there. All things are possible if you work hard and set your heart and mind to do something you love doing. As a community we should support our local businesses.
I put honey in my fruit smoothies for sweetness and to help with allergies. Keep up the good work with your business!!!

I love bees, it’s amazing how much they contribute to the world! God blessed the world with nature and it’s benefits for humanity,so we should all do our part to take care of it. Miss Haley if you walk with the Lord with your motivation you will do great things in this world. May God bless you!
