HoneyPotDoc honey is 100 % unprocessed . “ We don ’ t add anything to it , it ’ s just pure ,” Theresa says . The bees feed from the flowers around the Edwards ’ home and surrounding area , creating a somewhat dark honey that is sweet to the taste . “ I call it the color of College Station ,” since bees will go wherever they want to go , she says . “ They can fly anywhere from a mile-anda-half to 3 miles but prefer to stay local because it takes a lot of energy .” she says . “ But that ’ s what their job is .” But they always come back home , she says .
Because the pollen is local , the honey contains many benefits specific to Bryan College Station residents , including helping to alleviate allergies and first-aid treatment for burns and cuts . It is also a great alternative to raw sugars , Theresa says . “ It really can be used for everything ,” Theresa says . “ A lot of people swear by it .” She adds , “ And it ’ s just tasty .” IN
