The honey
Harvested May 17, 2025 — Piedmont Region, North Carolina
This honey was produced during a mild, wet spring in North Carolina’s Southeast Piedmont. From April to May, temperatures ranged between 50–80°F with steady rainfall. The bees foraged forest edges, wildflower meadows, and open pastures rooted in clay loam soil, which supports a rich and diverse nectar flow. Likely nectar sources include wisteria, wild blackberry, tulip poplar, and other Piedmont-specific wildflowers. Harvested within 48 hours of removal from the hives, extraction was done using a HillCo radial centrifuge. Honey was filtered through a 60-micron screen and bottled immediately. Finished jars were stored at a consistent 74°F in a climate-controlled room to preserve aroma and flavor. The beekeeping
