Bee smart and buy local honey!
Since ancient times the world has known the healing and health benefits of honey. It contains nutrients and antioxidants. It can help lower your blood pressure and triglycerides and improve your cholesterol. It promotes burn and wound healing and suppresses coughs. it's been touted to prevent cancer and heart disease, reduce ulcers, ease digestive problems, regulate blood sugar, and increase athletic performance. Basically it's a wonder drug but you can't use the processed stuff, you need it in the raw like they sell here. Whenever I find a farmers market I am on the lookout for local honey. That is why I was so happy to find the Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. The Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. store has been a landmark near the Caloosahatchee River on N Bridge Street since 1954. You get the honey directly from the Curtis family hives which can be found in the orange groves, pines, mangroves and along the beaches of South Central Florida. Farmers depend on the bees to pollinate their crops and the bees make the Curtis honey. Curtis Honey Co. is located in a historic building from 1927 that used to be the towns mercantile. The store is managed by the daughter of Harold P. Curtis, Rene Curtis Pratt who I had the pleasure of chatting with. Honey varieties include sea grape, mangrove, wildflower, palmetto, and orange blossom. In addition to the honey offered in many different sizes they also sell gator sauce and other spicy seasonings, honey candy, tea, jellies, honey candy, candles, and honey beauty products like soap, lotion, and lip balm. I purchased the amazing orange blossom honey soap for myself and gifts. The honey drop candy cured a minor throat irritation I have had for a month. I ended up purchasing a few gifts for upcoming birthdays which I know will be enjoyed. With the current focus on supporting local agriculture and eating healthy now is the time to rediscover what our ancestors knew, honey is good for you. Stop by the Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. to find out all the ways you can enjoy this sweet nectar. You will "bee" glad you did.
