About this Honey
Sourced from wetlands and marshes where Cattails (Typha) dominate. While cattails are primarily wind-pollinated, bees collect the abundant pollen and honeydew secretions found on the plants. The resulting honey is often dark and rich, with an earthy, vegetal flavor profile that distinguishes it from floral nectars. It is considered a niche varietal often found in swamp blends.
