https://mocicc.org/agricultura/oek06fk5uyb I spent today on assignment in north-central Montana for The Big Sky Journal, photographing Smoot Honey’s factory, warehouse and sticky goodness.  Smoot is Montana’s largest honey producer, and these ladies and gentlemen know their bees.  Several generations of the family work the business, and to my delight as I worked with several generations I realized I was surrounded by fathers, sons, brothers and cousins.
