Jewelweed Honey
Our honeybees make this rare honey from native jewelweed flowers that blossom in late August and through September in Minnesota.
This flower leaves a unique signature on visiting honeybees as the flowers anthers rub on the bees as they enter the flower to load up on the nectar, leaving a white stripe of pollen on the bees' backs. The stripe is visible on the bees as they enter the hive!.
Jewelweed honey has a bold herbal flavor profile with a citrus finish.
We have very limited quantities of this honey available.
We have friends who love MN made products and we decided to share some of this honey with them, and they loved it!
I bought this because it was a limited supply honey and I had never encountered it before. Like all the honey I have purchased from Ames Farms, it was fantastic! I like to keep different varieties/flavors of honey on hand for when friends stop by for coffee. Ames Farms is my "single source" for the honey in my house!!
A taste all to itself. A pleasant surprise. A delight.
I purchased both the Jewelweed and Fall Aster limited honeys.
They are uniquely different each has a subtle flavor of the flowers
Delicious
