The NHB is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group that works to educate consumers about the benefits and uses for honey through research, marketing and promotional programs. The Board's work, funded by an assessment on domestic and imported honey, is designed to increase the awareness and usage of honey. The ten-member-Board, appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, represents beekeepers, packers, importers and a marketing cooperative. For more information, visit www.honey.com.
