Bessie Zeller didn’t start making her unique honey-based candy with the intent of turning it into a family business. Instead, she was just following a doctor’s orders. Zeller began creating the candy in her Lovell, Wyo. (pop. 2,367), home more than 50 years ago after an optometrist advised her that her son Mitchel’s vision would improve if sugar were eliminated from his diet. Looking for a sugar replacement, she turned to honey, which was in abundant supply because of her husband Clarence’s occupation as a beekeeper. “So, I started creating all my own recipes and did all my cooking, canning and baking with honey,” says Bessie, 79. “One year later, he didn’t need glasses.”
