I can only say that your honey is the best, and that it has been an inspiration for me. I will be keeping bees this year. I am currently painting my woodenware in anticipation of my package bee's. Thanks again for everything you do!

I purchased two 3 lb. bottles of your excellent Tupelo Honey a few months ago, and have recommended it to everyone I know. It is absolutely amazing, so delicious and fresh. Thank you so much for the pleasure we have had eating it! I plan to try it in a honey cake, and if it turns out as I hope, I'll send you the recipe. Warmest regards.

Dear Mr. Smiley When I ordered your Tupelo Honey, I am not sure what I exactly expected. My family and I like honey, prefer it to other "sweetners," and have a fondness for family-owned businesses. So, when I read about your apiary in Miss Bishop's Book, I thought, "Yes, we should try some of this kind of honey." Ordinarily, we buy local honey for all the obvious reasons. But the lure of this honey was very strong. Then the Tupelo arrived. Oh , my goodness! Sweetness and light in a bottle! Mr. Smiley we have been trying to describe this lovely honey ever since we tasted it. (Of course, we need to keep tasting to see if we can be more accurete in our description.) We've come up with, "Green," "fresh," "water," (please bear in mind that this bottle of Tupelo ended up here, in what we politely call "Drydaho" so " water" means something delicious to us!), and, being myself from the south, I proclaimed that one could, taste the very southland in this amazing elixer. Still, all words fall short. God has most certainly blessed his very earth with the bee. More to the point, He has blessed us all with the fruits of your labor. Thank you for the beekeeping, the Honey, and making sure it arrived in such a timely fashion and in great condition.
The C Family, ID.

Your honey is the absolute best and sweetens my coffe and my life every single day. Thank you for a fantastic website and an A+ product that keeps me healthy.
Bette, FL

This will be our first time trying it. My 12 year old son got his first hive here in Indiana. Reading about you from the library inspired him.
Wendy, IN.

We love your Tupelo Honey! Our neighbor brought us some from a trip back east and no other honey will do now.
Joan, CA.

Bought some last month--buying more to give to friends. Best honey I ever wrapped my lips around. Go Smiley!!!
Charles, OH.

Glad I found you, Have a diabetic in the house and this does the trick.
Robert, CA.

We're long time customers: we'll give a few away as presents at holiday time, and greedily eat the rest! Best wishes.
Terry, CA.

Much like most people, this has become not only my favorite honey, but my families as well. When we ran out last year and no one seemed to have any left, we were stuck with some local wildflower, which was good, but not like your Tupelo! As I have in the past, I will look forward to receiving your package and opening it up to take a taste before adding it to my morning tea! Thanks for all of your hard work on this! It truly has become a staple of my families diet!
Damien, MD.

Very easy website to use! Thanks
Bobby, TX.

I read with wonder, about the bees and you, in Robbing the Bees. You built a beautiful house. Wishing you success.

Mr. Smiley. Thank you for sending the order of honey so quickly. The tupelo I received is most definitely the best honey I have ever tasted. I have been trying to bake with honey since it is much better than processed white sugar. I love the mild taste of it. Thank you again for such prompt service. I will be recommending your online store to all my friends. Blessings to you.
Andrea

Mr. Smiley, You have truly spoiled us and we owe this in part to Ms. Holley Bishop, for if I had not read her superb book"Robbing The Bees" I would never have discovered both you and the extraordinary world of the honey bee. Many times thank you, it is due exclusively to impassioned individuals like yourself that the future of these amazing little beings will be preserved but having said that we need the rest of the world to join in a mojor effort toward saving our global environment. Most sincerely:
Mrs John, CT

Dear Mr. Smiley Today we received the Tupelo I ordered Friday. The Tupelo Honey is simply wonderful! the fragrance so aramatic but the flavor is heavenly. I've been eating honey for 30 years and yours is the finest I've ever had. Thank You! God Bless You & Your Bees.
Bobby & Gini, FL.

This is my second order and I am very pleased. Thanks. I used the honey as party favors for a birthday lunch. The honoree's mother had introduced me to Tupelo Honey and, as as we were all suposed to bring a limerick, I wrote this to accompany the Honey. You wonder why Tupelo Honey. Vicki's mom was right on the money Fay sagely advised it won't crystallize. This Honey will allways be runny!
Lillian, CA.

Tupelo honey is the best in the World.

Mr. Smiley, thank you for your part in keeping the honey and honeycomb industries alive. Best wishes for your continued success in your business.
Margaret, MA.

I received my first order from you of Tupelo Honey last week. I have never tasted finer honey in my entire life. I have been useing your honey in just about everything I cook! You have a customer forever.
Elaine, NJ.

Love your honey! Came to your place and bought some Tupelo, it is great! Thanks.
Karen, AL.

Donald, First, thank you for getting my order to me so quickly. Secondly, I know honey. I have bought and enjoyed honey from every beekeeper in my area over the past 10 years (at least 30). Have also tried a number of major brands (IE Aunt Sue's - Sue Bee unprocessed) Unprocessed is usually my favorite, due to the depth of the tastes. I have not tasted anything like your honey before, very light, sweet, and the depth is great. I was most worried how it would taste in my Gunpowder tea as I drink 4-5 cups per day. Perfect. perfect, perfect. This is some really REALLY good stuff you have here. My next order will be your 60 pound tub... and I really cannot wait to try it on my corn bread! I love honey, and sir, you make the best honey I have ever tasted. Thank you again, my next order will be in a week or two.
Andy, NH

We love your honey! It really is the best honey out there.
Raven, CA.

I received my honey yesterday, and I am so happy!! Your Tupelo Honey is simply divine. I know I will be buying it again, and again, and again!

Kathy, AL.

Dear Donald and Family and of course old A.J.,lol To start with Happy Holidays or as we say Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year. I placed an order from you last evening and asked when I might expect the package to get up here to Ontario,CA and sure enough I got an email from UPS (my favorite courier to!) that said that the expected delivery date was to be Dec.24th, so Wow Thank You all so much for your wonderful website that has taught me and soon to come to my wife once she gets her very first Taste of Tupelo for Christmas. To be honest I got the idea from a TV program filmed in Florida- CSI Miami, but I can't believe that I have been serving my Lovely Wife Tea for over thirty years and I hadn't remembered about Tupelo Honey and that with the internet it is so easy to find the best of the Best out there (you guys of course) and get it delivered to your door, huh and I call myself somewhat of a computer wizard and I can fix anything and recover lost info but I rarely get past emails and work. So thanks so much for the website and you now will have a repeat customer and then some after all our friends get a taste of the Gold. I look forward to it arriving and getting the opportunity of emailing you the results of the Taste Tests. Best of luck keeping your stock healthy as Ontario has been hit bad for the past three years and we don't even have to worry about flooding just Mites and Bad Cold weather. Sincerely Yours, Mark
Mark,CA.

I usually get my Tupelo honey while on vacation in Florida, a couple of small bottles a year. It's gone very quickly and then, I get the store honey until I get back to Florida. Tupelo is definitely my favorite honey and now that I found your website I'll be able to enjoy it all year long. THANK YOU !
Ron, MN.

I read about you in the book Robbing the Bees which I just finished today. My favorite part of the book was learning about your company in particular and I am very happy to be able to try your Tupelo Honey! Suzanne

Cindy, BC

I used to keep bees in Florida - 10 years ago! I was one of the very few female beekeepers around. I had 350 hives in the Gainesville area that I migrated to Michigan for cherries every year. I miss my bees and the taste of Florida honey so much, I had to get some! Best of luck, I hope your bees are doing well.
Lahome, FL.

I've ordered from you before and love your honey; it's the only kind I use. My first experience with Tupelo Honey was a bottle purchased on vacation in Gulf Shores area. Google searched when I ran out and found you.
