About this Honey
Harvested primarily in Northern California and the Western U.S. from the Yellow Star Thistle, an invasive weed that bees happen to love. Produced in mid-to-late summer, this honey is highly prized for its champagne-like light color and mild flavor with notes of almond or candy. It has a low glucose content, meaning it resists crystallization and stays liquid for a long time.
