Honey, Have You Tried?
This is a bit different from my usual "Have You Tried" posts. This isn't a single product or menu item, but a whole store!
What: Sacramento Beekeeping Supplies
Why: Not just for beekeepers, this cool store, painted on the front to look like a honeycomb, has a great supply of local honey and other bee-related goodies. You can fine many different varieties of local honey: in jars, a creamed variety, and bulk. There are multiple colors of beeswax for rolling into candles (a great gift idea), Burt's Bees products, books, bee pins, and molded beeswax candles. You can also buy bee propolis and pollen for help with allergies and skin rashes. I like to take a jar of local honey and a wooden honey dipper to friends as a host present. And my family members always get long straws full of honey as stocking stuffers. Of course, if you are into beekeeping or think you want to be, this is the place to go for information.
Where: 2110 X Street, 451-2337

My husband and I drove by this store the other day and thought to ourselves what a strange kind of store to have, but after reading your post, we'll certainly have to stop in next time.
