This past weekend I picked up a bunch of Nature’s Nectar Honey north of Stillwater, MN. I had run out myself and I was picking up a six pound order of honey for Bill.
From when I was born until about grade 3 I lived next door to Jim and Wendy Kloek. I’ve kept in contact with them over the years and in the last 15 years they have been keeping bees. Now they’re gathering some very, very nice honey as well as distributing bees to other beekeepers. The honey I got was Clover and Basswood and it might be the best honey I’ve ever tasted: just sweet enough but not too sweet, just thick enough and the taste has a nice bite at the end that I’ve never experienced before with honey.
Jim maintains a blog that keeps other beekeepers and fans up to date with his bees.
I strongly recommend this honey, and honestly I don’t think my personal relationship with the beekeeper bias is getting in the way.
You can find it in a few places around the north-east metro such as River Market Community Co-op and Fresh and Natural Foods. If you have problems finding Nature’s Nectar honey, contact Jim on his blog or zoom in on the photo for their contact information.

I thought that the “nice bite at the end” was reminiscent of mild and fresh tobacco.
