Mullet Apiaries sits on 80 acres of woodland in Warsaw and produces raw honey, creamed honey, maple syrup, beeswax and candles. Mullett sells many of these products at Local Bounty market.

To be classified as raw, honey has to be unheated and unfiltered. Mullet simply strains his honey to remove the bee parts left behind in the collection process.

"The pollen grains are still in there if you're looking for the medicinal part of the honey for your allergies," he said.  Some theories indicate eating locally produced honey is helpful for the treatment of allergies.  Mullet's bees feast on various wildflowers in the area, which makes his honey in demand.
