Wojtan83  posted " I just bought your Revenge Honey Hot Sauce 

at the Carl Sandburg High School craft fair 

and I freaking love it. 

I started to put that stuff on everything. 

My only regret is that I didn't buy more "

Mellissa recommends  Sweet Cyndees Bees

 Must Have!

I picked some of this up at Royal Oaks this past weekend 

and now I am obsessed! 

If you haven't had this, you are missing out!  :)

Fabulous! Some if the best local honey I've had.

Phenomenal tasting honey. I have been beyond happy with every product I have tried.

This stuff is amazing! I’m not one to buy food items 

from craft shows, but this stuff won me over first taste! 

I’m obsessed with adding it to my tea. 

If you are a tea drinker like I am, you need to try this honey!

Sweet Cyndees Bees 

won 5 Blue Ribbons for our 

Honey, Creme Honeys and Honey products at 

the Heartland Apicultural Society

in July 2019!

We also won the Grand Champion Award for our Honeys.
