Raw Unfiltered Tupelo Honey 1 Gallon 2018 Crop (Florida)

Description

2 Pound(32oz) Squeeze bottle of Tupelo Honey (2018 Florida crop)
Tupelo honey is a rare and prized honey. It cannot be produced all year round. White Tupelo trees have a very brief flowering season from early April to early May. Their flowers are also very delicate and are easily knocked off from the tress by heavy rains. The Ogeechee River, the Apalachicola, and the Chattahoochee River Basins of northwest Florida are the only places in the world where Tupelo H
oney is produced commercially. Beekeepers line up their hives along the swamp beds. The bees collect the nectar from the Tupelo blossoms in the swampy areas during those few weeks and return to the hives produce the light amber honey.
Harvesting and extracting Tupelo is labor-intensive and tedious. Many beekeepers go to great lengths in managing the hives from boats in hot weather. Once the flowers start to blossom, all the existing honey collected would have to be emptied from the hives and clean empty beeswax combs replaced to prevent mixing of Tupelo honey with other honey collected from other flower sources. And to obtain the purest Tupelo honey, beekeepers must harvest the honey immediately after the Tupelo flowers start to fall off. Due to its challenging production process and high demand, this exquisite honey often commands a premium price.
