September is Honey Month and we believe that everyone in the Twin Cities should celebrate the oh-so-sweet gift our local bee hives provide. Honeybees are far from pests; in fact, we have honeybees to thank for much more than just honey. These insects forage for nectar which then transfers pollen from plant to plant. This pollination process fertilizes each plant and enables them to bear fruits. Simply put: without honeybees, many major crops like apples and avocados would cease to grow. Show your love of honey and appreciation for honeybees by picking up a batch of local honey from one of these places around the Twin Cities.

• Bare Honey – 635 SE 9th St., Minneapolis, MN 55414
  Bare Honey believes that honey should be sweet, the way nature intended. Blending their 100 percent raw honey with simple spices, Bare Honey creates spreadable honeys that will inspire you to put honey on everything! Cinnamon Honey, Cocoa Honey Spread, Hot & Spicy Honey, and Vanilla Bean Honey are just some of their super sweet flavors that you'll want to add to every meal after you close on one of our new Minneapolis homes for sale.
