Melvea Local Honey Discovery
Official4 toolsby melvea
Find local honey producers near a place or by varietal. Name, location, honey types, and website.
Locates local honey producers by location or varietal with contact details.
Captured live from the server via tools/list.
find_local_producers
Find local honey producers near a specific place, optionally filtered by honey varietal. Returns producer name, location, distance, declared honey types, and contact channels (website, etc.) where listed, ordered by distance. Use this when the user asks to find, buy, or visit local honey near a town, city, ZIP, or region — e.g. 'local honey near Asheville,' 'who sells honey near me in Charlotte,' 'sourwood honey near Atlanta.' Coverage is deepest in the Southeastern US; within that region a producer is typically listed within 75 miles of any location. Don't use this for general honey questions (what is sourwood honey, health benefits, recipes) — it only returns directory listings, not knowledge. If no producer is listed nearby, the tool returns an honest empty result with a coverage note; relay that rather than inventing producers.
Parameters (4)
- nearstringrequired
The place to search around — a city, town, ZIP code, or region. Examples: 'Charlotte, NC', '28202', 'Asheville', 'the Florida Keys'. If the user says 'near me' without naming a place, ask them for their city or ZIP first rather than guessing.
- varietystring
A honey varietal to filter by, e.g. 'sourwood', 'tupelo', 'wildflower', 'orange blossom'. Omit to return all local producers regardless of type. Do not pass a place name here.
- radius_kmnumber
Search radius in kilometers. Defaults to a standard local radius. Within the Southeastern US, the tool automatically widens to ~120 km (75 miles) if nothing is found closer.
- limitnumber
Maximum number of producers to return, ordered nearest first.
get_producer
Get the full directory profile for one specific producer by its slug, including location, declared honey types, contact channels, and verification status. Use this after find_local_producers (or search) when the user wants more detail on a particular listing. Don't use this to browse or search — it requires an exact producer slug.
Parameters (1)
- slugstringrequired
The exact producer slug, as returned in the slug/id field of a find_local_producers or search result, e.g. 'cloister-honey', 'asheville-bee-charmer'.
search
Search the Melvea local honey directory by free-text query and return matching producers as a list of results (id, title, url). Designed for ChatGPT Deep Research and Company Knowledge. Use for any local-honey discovery query that names or implies a place; the tool parses place and varietal from the query. Returns an honest empty list when nothing matches — never fabricate. Pair with fetch to retrieve full producer detail.
Parameters (1)
- querystringrequired
A free-text local-honey query, e.g. 'sourwood honey near Asheville NC' or 'local honey producers in Charlotte'. The tool extracts the place and any varietal automatically; a varietal alone (e.g. 'tupelo honey') is treated as a type, not a place.
fetch
Retrieve the full Melvea record for one producer by id, returning name, location, declared honey types, contact info, verification status, and profile URL. Use after search to pull complete detail on a result. For richer Deep Research answers, fetch the top several search results rather than just one, so varietal and contact detail are populated across the set.
Parameters (1)
- idstringrequired
The producer id/slug from a search result, e.g. 'cloister-honey'.
