Logan, I agree I try and keep it local, but I spoke to noble bee late summer and they were pretty much wiped out early in the year, I wouldn’t expect they would have much for honey until later this spring or so. I did find some other local sources but its purely for blended honey and its not any less expensive than NB.
John, thanks for sharing the site, I actually have spent a lot of time scouring the web for honey, as its pricey and hard to source some of the more exotic stuff. I’ve seen this site, but haven’t purchased anything through it. I don’t’ see they have agave, or mesquite which I’d like to play with some time. I also had a great mead last year made with Sea Grape honey.
I’ll be judging next month in the Mazer cup international mead comp (Boulder, Co), and they have honey vendors/meaderies there from US, Canada, Europe and beyond, I got to taste some pretty wild honeys, but finding them at a decent price is difficult. I’ll let you know if I get any good tips for this years sources of honey although its mostly focused on commercial bulk purchases and not the home brewer.

Another option would be Noble Bee Honey in Amana Iowa. High Quality, fresh, local(ish) and I hear that you can save money by bringing your own container. IOWA BEEES FTW!
