Plains, PA.  Beekeeper’s Daughter is making the finest honey soda in the country.  Just like cheese, veggies, produce, meat and pretty much all other agricultural products, the quality of honey can vary widely, with locally made stuff almost always being the best, in terms of flavor and environmental impact. Plus, cute though they are, those plastic bears on the supermarket shelf from China, New Zealand, Mexico and who knows where else, are never going to be able to match the nutritional power of honey harvested close to home, which can help ease common ailments, like allergies and sore throats.

In Northeastern PA, one of the most prolific artisan honey companies is The Beekeeper’s Daughter. For founder Hannah Burgess, “hive to table” honey is deeply tied to her family’s history and her way of life. In the early 1950s, her grandfather, William Perry, Sr., established Perry Apiaries in Dallas, PA, which slowly grew to be one of the biggest commercial honey producers on the East Coast. Now, the hives that have been helping her family make a living for generations produce a number of different raw, unfiltered honeys and honey-based products, which Burgess sells onlineand at her brick-and-mortar shop in Plains, PA, just on the outskirts of Wilkes-Barre.
