FROM HIVES TO HIGHby Patrick
There ’ s a buzz about the treasure trove of craftsmanship and creativity found right in the First Coast Region . That buzz is found literally – and figuratively – at The Honey Truck Company , which offers award-winning artisan honeys from St . Augustine .
It ’ s found , too , with Curtis Ceballos ’ Invisacook , Inc . located in Bunnell . Invisacook is an innovative way of cooking that was lauded on Time Magazine ’ s Top Inventions of 2023 .
“ I was a full-time family photographer , and I didn ’ t feel that was creative enough for me ,” says Danielle Brooks , proprietor of The Honey Truck . “ So one day , I decided I was going to get a beehive , and I immediately fell in love with it .”
She is a Master Beekeeper through the University of Florida ’ s Master Craftsman Beekeeper program and is also a certified honey judge .
Today , bees from Brooks ’ hives and hives from other keepers in the area craft small batch honeys , many hyperlocal , sold across the country . They have been recognized as a Best of the South brand by Southern
