Bees Universe

You can’t miss Bees Universe.  John has been a staple at the market since it began five years ago. Yes, he sells honey.  Raw honey, cream honey, honey with blueberries, honey with cinnamon, honey in a stick.  But their bees also  help to produce many health and beauty products, like bee pollen, propolis, skin cream, chapstick, and beeswax candles.  This year they have added eggs to the mix.  You can find quale, duck and goose eggs among their selection.
