McDaniel Honey Farm – “Since honey bees became a part of the family in 1979, we at McDaniel Honey Farm have taken pride in providing pure, natural, raw and unprocessed honey as well as quality products made from beeswax.

Our quality raw honey is as pure and natural as the bees make it. Our honey is uncooked and unfiltered, as these processes remove the pollen and enzymes that make natural honey the special product it is.

Raw honey has the luscious flavor of the flowers it is made from and retains its healthful properties.”
