I've just gotten some loose leaf earl gray tea. Pretty sure I'll never use tea bags again. Do you have an all time favorite honey? Is it available online?
Please don't feed the trolls!

Wildflower/ Blackberry/ Orange Blossom.
Checked my hive a couple of weeks back. Had a frame break, they were just starting to cap honey cells on it. Really light honey, very mild flavor. Bees have been hitting the dandelions in the lawn and garden area hard, so maybe it was dandelion honey.
I don't buy honey online, we get ours local and hopefully within a year or two will be getting it from our own bees.

I'm no fan of clover as it's kinda boring. My favorite is wildflower, which is a general expression for whatever is in season that happens to be dark in color and a stronger flavor. Flowers vary from region and month so it all depends. Buckwheat is the last around here and is pretty good. Some keepers take whatever is left in the fall and mix it. It's all a delicacy if it's raw, unheated and unprocessed. Specs of pollen make it much better IMHO. Unfortunately, this is the most expensive. Keep in mind that some large commercial companies add corn syrup.

True to my first tag line, I have never been a fan of honey.

From my hives! When conditions allow a harvest of pure bigleaf maple honey it's pretty damn good. Kind of a rare event here.

Fireweed honey is hard to beat. Hard to get also. Getting ready to spin this years bee take out. Unfortunately it was not a good fireweed year for my area.

I get it from the locals. Never know what it will taste like. I've had some taste like raw green tobacco, won't bad just a little more on the bitter side. Used most of that one in BBQ sauce.

Natural buckwheat honey, because it enhances flavor of coffee. That is the only reason I use honey.
