Wildflower honey is a mix of wildflowers that bloom in the late spring or early summer. Some examples of floral sources that you might have in your wildflower honey include arbutus, maple, dandelion, clover, hazelenut, etc. Every batch of wildflower honey can be a little different but it is generally a lighter in flavour and color than the mid summer honey which is predominantly from blackberries.
100% of our honey was collected from flowers on Salt Spring Island.
It is raw which means it has never been heated beyond the temperature that would normally be found inside a hive in order to preserve the natural enzymes that the bees add to it.
It has been screened but has not been filtered because we do not want to remove the natural pollen grains. For that reason, it is not as clear as store bought honey, and you might find occasional tiny inclusions of wax or propolis or specks of other hive material.
