HONEY


Honey is a sweet,aromatic,golden,sticky, liquid made by honey bees from the nectar of flowers.

Imagine you as the first human to bravely taste this golden fluid in its
hexagon chambers guarded by bees.

One of natured perfect foods.



Honey seekers depicted on 6000 year
old cave painting in Spain.

Colors of Honey


The aroma,taste and color of honey is determined on the type of flowers,
bees collect nectar from.

Like wine that changes with the weather and the type of grape.
Our wildflower honey changes with the season, weather and flowers.

Spring honey from dandelion with it's darker color and carmel flavor,
blending into summer clovers lighter color,highly aroma ,
fireweed', almost clear as water ,to darker golden rod with its complex notes.

The texture of wildflower honey is may change from liquid to softly granulated to candied.

A hot summer with lots of rain in the evenings will give lots of nectar.
