Raw, small batch honey varies in color and flavor from season to season and hive to hive This depends on the bees and the type of flowers they forage The resulting honey may be lighter or darker, more floral or sweet or less sweet in taste Our honey intentionally allows for these variations Honey and wine are very similar in that they take on the characteristics of the area that they are produced This is the beauty and wonder of raw and natural honey!
