Some of the last honey labels I've looked at in the grocery stores have
honey combined from perhaps 3 different continents or countries, or both.

I love honey on its own, so I buy honey produced in Italy. Friday I found
in Wegman's acacia honey from Germany. I'm glad to see that there are still
some honey producers, instead of gather-and-bottle companies.
