Just because my bees don't migrate doesn't mean they only make one kind of honey. They forage on whatever is available which varies by the season and location. Spring honey is light and floral.

As the season progresses the plants have to produce more polyphenols and other compounds to deal with more insect pressure and the nectar picks up these beneficial compounds and becomes darker and more complex. It's also more biologically active with and more beneficial to eat.

My honey is raw and minimally processed so it contains pollen and all of the enzymes and other beneficial compounds that nature puts in there.

My bees forage on whatever is available. Because there are always many different plants blooming in Philadelphia it's impossible to identify just one so it's called wildflower honey.

By analyzing the pollen collected by the bees we get an idea of what plants they're visiting and the possible sources of nectar. As you can see my honey is not dominated by any one nectar source. Some of these are not even known to produce nectar like Ash and Oak, but the bees are getting pollen nonetheless.

The result is a fairly light, very delicate spring honey seen on the right above. As the season progresses the honey gets darker and more complex as seen on the right.

I sell most of my honey at Philadelphia Beekeeper Guild events, but I also sell at these fine establishments:

Weavers Way Coop - sold under the Henry Got Crops brand

T and F Farmers Pride - Beekdaddy
