This season’s late summer honey is rich and golden, with a fuller flavour that reflects the changing landscape as the year begins to turn.
Through August, the bees foraged on water mint along the stream edges, the last flush of wildflowers in the meadows, and tall stands of fireweed brightening the woodland clearings. These late blooms brought depth and character, resulting in a honey that is smooth, aromatic, and lingering on the palate.
Did you know? Fireweed is often one of the first plants to colonise cleared ground or woodland after disturbance, which is why it’s sometimes called "the pioneer plant." Its nectar is prized by bees for its abundance and by beekeepers for producing particularly distinctive honey.
Unfiltered, unblended, and drawn from the season’s final flourish, just as nature intended.
