My 4 favorites are Orange Blossom, Fireweed, Sourwood and Tupelo. Except for orange blossom, I've found you have to buy it close to the source or you are likely to get a mixed variety that most likely isn't as advertised. Especially common with Tupelo, but easy to confirm if it crystalizes. I've been enjoying Stoked Fireweed out of Homer. It appears to be the real deal!
Used to get it from coworkers dad who robbed his own hives on deer lease he managed some where down around Eagle Pass or Del Rio. Don’t remember which. They all ded now.

A local bee man has hives here on the farm. He gives us several gallons a year. Since we have many acres of soybeans i suspect most, if not all the pollen comes from the beans. No idea how far bees travel for pollen.

Miles gave my daughter a pint jar of the honey from his hive a few years ago, I don't know what variety, but it was the best honey we've ever had. Perhaps he'll be along to give us the skinny.

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?
I have used honey in my tea for decades, and I've pretty much found that anything but a mostly clover honey doesn't do well in hot drinks. I like about any honey on toast or biscuits, but when you heat it, things come out that aren't usually noticeable. Most anything but Clover, to me, tastes way too aromatic and flowery, and overpowers the tea. I've tried a bunch, but always come back to clover. Everybody has different tastes.
I've used up most of the orange blossom honey I ordered online. Good stuff. A honey dipper with pot showed up today. I had some store brand raw honey on the shelf so I filled it up with that. No where near as good. No more bargain brand honey for me.
Im sure it exists somewhere, but I can say I’ve personally never had any bad honey. Its all pretty damn tasty.
