One of the sweetest booths at the Seal Beach Farmers Market is Bennett’s Local Honey. Rafael Chavez sells natural, local, raw unfiltered honey that comes from happy bees in Fillmore 50 miles away.

To fight spring allergies, Chavez recommends using wildflower or eucalyptus honey. He also sells sage, cactus, avocado and other natural flavors in assorted sizes.

Honey is recommended as a natural healthy sweetener instead of artificial sweeteners. Honey sticks can be used in as a sweetener tea or as a healthy snack.

Beeswax can be used in lotions and to make candles. Look for the bee finger puppets, honey spoons and natural honey at Bennett’s Local Honey Booth every Tuesday at the Farmers Market from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. near Roger Dunn’s Golf Shop.
