Wildflower Honey

Description

In very general terms, honey harvested later in the season (late summer and fall) will be a bit stronger in taste and darker in colour, simply because of the varieties of wildflowers which grow when it’s warmer. Spring and early summer batches are more likely to be lighter in both taste and colour.

Perhaps the best way to describe this honey is that it’s somewhat similar but a bit stronger than two other types of honey known for being fruity and light,  Acacia honey and Rapeseed blossom honey. You know by now, though, that there’s no real way to predict exactly what an individual jar of wildflower honey will taste like.

One final reason why the colour and flavour of wildflower honey varies so wildly (please pardon the pun) is that different plants flower at different times of the year. So the nectar collected by honey bees in May is likely to come from completely different wildflowers than the nectar the bees gather in September.
