Wildflower Honey
Our Wildflower Honey's Flavor
When you taste our raw unfilitered wildflower honey you will discover that it has a complex sweet flavor that comes from all the various floral sources the bees visit during the spring flow. It has a thicker consistency (body) and provides healthy benefits for you and your family because it contains more pollen and polyphenols from the various plants the bees visit in the springtime. This is a good honey to buy if you're having issues with allergies. The color of the honey is between a dark to medium amber.
What were the Floral Sources?
There were 3 main floral sources the bees where collecting nectar from this year to make our wildflower honey. They were Tulip Poplar(tree), Strawberry (plant), and Wild Blackberry (plant). The rich medium amber color, aroma and taste came predomiently from the Tulip Poplar tree.
Additionally, our bees worked other floral species that were in bloom present in the foothill region of North Carolina during Spring such as Sumac, Persimmon, White Clover, Chestnut, along with many other plant species, so nectar and pollen from many of those sources will be mixed in with the honey to enhance the taste, color, and aromoa of the honey.
While no beekeeper can control which floral sources their bees visit, the major floral sources indicated here comes from where I believe most of the nectar came from. This is based on what was in bloom at the time the bees were collecting and storing up the nectar in their hives.
