Local grown sunflowers and honey are for sale on weekends and some weekdays in front of Henry County Senior Citizens Center, located at 200 E. South Street.

Robert and Tami Turner have kept bees and sold honey under the name of Beehive Flower and Honey Market for the past 25 years. Turner only recently sold 135 of his beehives to a company in North Dakota, but he still has 5,000 lbs. of honey on hand. That amount, he said, should last him for the next three years.

The sunflowers are grown on a half-acre of their property off of the Page Street Extension, just over the tracks. The flowers are clipped each morning. Their stand is governed by the availability of their sunflowers, which sell for $10 a bouquet. Their honey is sold in one-pound jars for $10.

The couple have been in front of the Senior Center from 10 am to 3 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and they occasionally set up their stand on weekdays. Their season runs from late June to September.

Honey can be purchased at their home, located at 24765 North 570th Ave., Kewanee.
