Can I Join?
I would like to become a member of the National Honey Board. How do I join?
Because the NHB is an instrumentality of the USDA, there are really no “members,” “dues” or “joining” the National Honey Board. The Board's work is funded by an assessment of one cent per pound on domestic and imported honey.
Honey From the NHB?
I would like to buy some of your honey.
The National Honey Board does not buy or sell honey. We are a federal research and promotion board under USDA oversight that conducts research, marketing and promotion programs to help maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets for honey and honey products. One option that we do provide if you would like to sell or purchase honey, is our Honey Locator Web site, which is a directory of honey suppliers (see link below).
