Wildflower Raw Long Island Honey

12.0 oz
$23.50

Every jar of our Wildflower Raw Honey is a liquid map of Long Island’s seasonal landscape. Hand-harvested in small batches rather than one large end-of-season extraction, this honey remains as close to the hive as possible. Because Wild Blossom Apiaries bees  forage freely on diverse local blooms—from spring fruit trees to late-summer wildflowers—each harvest captures a unique moment in time, reflecting changes in color, aroma, and depth of flavor.
