Signing up for the Honey Locator

Who is Eligible to be listed on the Honey Locator?

Companies that produce or pack honey in the U.S. or companies that import honey for sale in the U.S. market may be listed on the Honey Locator.

U.S. Companies

Having a listing in the National Honey Board Honey Locator is available free of charge to those individuals/companies located in the United States who have paid assessments to the National Honey Board in the 18 months prior to application. Those who have not paid assessments in that time period may obtain a listing by paying a fee. Payment of this fee entitles the applicant to inclusion in the Honey Locator throughout the calendar year in which application was made. The fee is $20 if application is made from January through June, and $10 if application is made from July through December.

Foreign Companies

Inclusion in the Honey Locator is also available free of charge to individuals/companies located outside the U.S. that pay assessments. Such foreign companies must have paid import assessments to the National Honey Board in the 18 months prior to application in order to be eligible for a listing. Foreign companies may not pay a listing fee in lieu of paying import assessments.
