Thanks Greg! Many times people think I make these things up!

I personally think ELA gallberry is a step above the bakery grades I talked
about. I started beekeeping in Florida and am very familiar with gallberry
honey. Greg's example shows the packer market.

White U.S. Clover honey is almost always in short supply because in the
Midwest  the honey needs pulled before the darker wildflowers bloom. In
other words the honey is white and then as the weeks go by turns ELA ,to la
to Amber. I could use pfund numbers but would confuse most.

>Tupelo topped out at $2.50 lbs, however it was in short supply, and most
was quickly sold.

I had heard Tupelo was high this year but 2.50 I believe is a record high
price. Donald Smiley & Bill Merrit must be smiling! Both were born under a
Tupelo tree (legend says!) and guard their Tupelo locations. Both are what
when I lived in Florida we called "Florida Crackers". Most
" Florida crackers" run a "Florida Native" plate on the front of their
vehicles!
