What to ask at the stall
Honey at a market is usually sold by the beekeeper, so you can ask what a jar won't say: where the hives are, what the bees were feeding on, whether it's raw or was heated and filtered, and when it was harvested. Most honey crystallizes in time; set the jar in warm water to make it runny again.
Listings can be out of date, and many markets don't list what they sell, so check a market's own site before you go. Honey at markets in other states
