CLARKESVILLE — When you talk to Virginia and Carl Webb, and see them at work, it’s easy to see how much love they put into their craft. Virginia, who eloquently explains the complex ecosystem that flowering plants in habit, and Carl, who has a slow grandfatherly affection for things that flourish and grow, together run MtnHoney and produce award-winning honey. Virginia says “honey is the soul of the flower,” and bees are the tireless agents that make it, and practically any fruit or vegetable we eat, possible.
