MtnHoney and Jarrett Apiaries have received state and international awards for their North Georgia-based honey. MtnHoney won "Best Honey in the World" for its sourwood variety, second from left, at the World Honey Show in Ukraine. Jarrett Apiaries, second from right, won best in show at the Georgia Beekeeper’s Association State Honey Fair.
Northeast Georgia is home to the best-tasting honey in the world, literally. Sourwood honey, one of several honey varities produced by Virginia and Carl Webb of Clarkesville-based MtnHoney, won the "Best Honey in the World" award at the World Honey Show three different times. The victories were 2005 in Dublin, 2009 in Montpellier, France, and the most recent in October in Kiev, Ukraine.
