Color and Flavor

The color and flavor of honey differ depending on the nectar source (the blossoms) the honey bees visit. The colors of honey range from nearly colorless to dark brown, and the flavors vary from delectably mild to distinctively bold. To learn more about individual floral sources and the honey produced from those sources, select a floral source from the menu at top left. Included with each description will be a link to find suppliers of that floral varietal.

Most people, especially in the United States, are familiar with liquid honey, but may not have experienced the joys of using honey in its original, edible beeswax comb, or as a finely crystallized, spreadable, "whipped" form.
