Hello fellow CoB! I'm in desperate need of locally made honey! And possibly bee pollen as well. My son's allergies are getting the best of him this year. Thanks for all recommendations and advice!

"my bees are gentle"
NEWARK — Somewhere in the backyards of several Newark homes, 200,000 Carniolan bees are making raw honey you won’t find in grocery stores.
There’s buckwheat and cranberry, butter bean and blueberry. If none of those tickle your taste buds, wildflower, fire weed and black locust just might. The eight hives belong to Aaron Daniels, an urban beekeeper in a city buzzing too often about life’s harsh realities. http://blog.nj.com/njv_barry_carter/2013/07/an_urban_bee_keeper_in_newark.html#incart_river
About Jersey Buzz, LLC
Aaron Daniels is a producer and distributor of honey and honey related products. He works in the growing urban farming industry as a full-time Beekeeper. Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin apis, bee) is the maintenance of honey bee colonies. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect honey and other products of the hive (including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or "bee yard". Aaron has kept bees for over three years; each year is an enjoyable new experience

Anybody know where to buy local honey in Bloomfield, or failing that, in Montclair?

I think Hilltop Honey is the No. Caldwell apiary that has a stand at the Farmer's Market in Montclair (http://hilltophoneyllc.com/) I believe there's an apiary or two right there in Montclair if you Google around, like Essex Girl (http://www.essexgirlhoney.com/). If you watch, you can maybe catch them when they've got honey for sale. We get our honey from a friend who keeps bees in Jersey City, he sells it under the label "Exit 14", I do believe. Not sure if it's available around here, though it is available in stores in Jersey City (but that doesn't answer your question and this isn't a Jersey City group, but I digress).
