This Tiny Florida Honey Shop Sells Liquid Gold You Can Barely Find Anywhere Else

One honey here is famous for refusing to crystallize. The owners themselves point to its rare natural makeup as the reason it stays smooth in the jar. That honey is tupelo, and it comes from a short spring bloom in a few river swamps of the Florida Panhandle. Very few places on Earth produce it in real amounts. I love that something this rare comes from such a small corner of the map.

FPL's Southport facility works like a giant rechargeable battery

An FPL battery energy storage system in Southport began operating Oct. 31. According to company officials, the 400-megawatt, 1,600-megawatt-hour system, the largest battery storage facility in FPL's fleet by energy capacity, can supply enough electricity to serve up to 300,000 homes for four hours. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that as of July 1, 2025, Bay County had approximately 115,291 housing units. Located at 4300 County Road 2300, the 26-acre battery energy storage facility occupies the former coal storage site of the Lansing Smith Electric Generating Plant. The facility contains 358 Samsung battery containers and 120 GE inverter-transformer units, said Geoff West, senior director of development for Florida Power & Light, during a site tour. How it works The battery energy storage system stores electricity generated by nearby FPL solar facilities. When that energy is needed, inverters convert it from direct current, or DC, to alternating current, or AC, which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses. Substation transformers then increase the voltage before the electricity is sent to the power grid. In simple terms, the system works like a giant rechargeable battery, storing excess solar energy during the day and releasing it when demand for electricity
