This year is North Union Farmers Market’s year of the Honey bee! You will be able to pick up your local honey, and also information on the health benefits of honey from Lucy at The Honey Company table.

There are recent concerns over a significant and mysterious decline in the population of pollinating honeybees by CCD - Colony Collapse Disorder. We hope this Year of the Honeybee will bring awareness of this very important pollinator's plight. For more information visit the Online PBS NewsHour Report on Missing Bees.

Did You Know? Honey contains antioxidants. A daily dose of honey helps to protect your body from cancer-causing free radicals.   Read up:
