Reviews
What Customers Say
One of the best ways to evaluate a local honey producer is through the experiences of people who have already bought from them. Customer reviews reveal details that a product listing never will: how the honey tastes compared to store-bought, whether the beekeeper is friendly and knowledgeable, and whether people come back for more.

About the Seller
About This Seller
Not every place that sells honey is the same. A backyard beekeeper managing a handful of hives produces a very different product than a grocery store stocking mass-market brands. Knowing the seller type helps you understand how close you are to the source. The closer you are, the fresher and more traceable the honey.
Store
It's All About Bees is a retail shop in Omaha, Nebraska that carries honey from local producers. While they don't keep bees themselves, they can be a convenient way to find locally sourced honey in the area.
Processing
Raw & Unfiltered Status
How honey is processed after harvest makes a significant difference in what ends up in the jar. Raw honey preserves the enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants that heat destroys. Unfiltered honey retains the fine particles of beeswax, propolis, and pollen that commercial filtering removes. Crystallization is actually a sign of raw, minimally processed honey, not a flaw.
Raw & Unfiltered
It's All About Bees offers raw, unfiltered honey, never heated and never finely filtered. This means the natural enzymes, pollen, and propolis remain intact in every jar, exactly the way the bees made it.
Varietals
Honey Varietals
Honey takes on the flavor, color, and aroma of whatever flowers the bees are foraging. A jar of pale, mild clover honey tastes nothing like dark, earthy buckwheat, even if both come from hives in the same county. Seasonal and regional variation is part of what makes local honey worth seeking out. No two batches are exactly alike.
Lavender
It's All About Bees carries Lavender honey. Each varietal reflects the local flora around Omaha, Nebraska, giving you a taste of what's actually blooming in the region. Also noted: watermelon blossom.
Health
Local Honey & Allergies
One of the most common reasons people seek out local honey is the belief that it can help with seasonal allergies. Bees collect pollen from nearby plants, trace amounts end up in the honey, and regularly eating that honey may help your body build tolerance over time. For those interested in trying it, raw and unfiltered honey is preferred, since commercial processing removes most pollen content.
No reviewers have mentioned purchasing It's All About Bees honey specifically for allergy reasons. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be suitable. If local pollen content matters to you, ask the seller about where their hives are located and how their honey is processed.
Visit
Can You Visit?
There's something about visiting a local honey producer in person that no online listing can replicate. Seeing the hives, meeting the beekeeper, tasting different varietals side by side - it gives you a connection to the product that a grocery shelf never will. Many farms and apiaries welcome visitors, offer tastings, and sell directly on-site, often at better prices than retail.
Not confirmed

Purchasing
Where to Buy
Finding where to actually purchase local honey can be the hardest part of the process. Many producers sell through limited channels like weekend farmers markets, seasonal farm stands, or small online shops that may sell out between harvests. Direct purchases from the beekeeper, whether at a market, farm stand, or their own website, typically offer the freshest product.
Retail Store
