The piece highlights growing urban bias and asks if new business methods will help small towns survive.

Honey’s flavor varies with flowers, yet it remains a safe, unmanufactured sweet containing simple sugars and most elements of a balanced food, except vitamins. The federal pure food law bans artificial honey and preserves its purity.
