Raw & Unaltered Artisan Honey

Alfalfa Honey

Alfalfa occupies one of the top places in the bee's big book of flowers, along with other "stars " such as sweetclover, borage and phacelia. All are famous for producing the largest amount of nectar of the flower kingdom. With its deep roots, alfalfa is also resitant to drought. If you ever have the opportunity, pause near a blooming alfalfa field, close your eyes and breathe in... it's a sweet perfum. Of course, bees love it too. Alfalfa honey is pale white in color, it tastes and smells like a delicate floral bouquet.
Pure alfalfa honey isn't easy to come by. Most farmers harvest their fields when the plant reaches its highest protein level, and that's right at the beginning of the blooming stage. This year however we got lucky. I was able to install a bee yard at the corner of four alfalfa fields. And since that bit of luck came with friends, each field went to full bloom at a different time, from early July up to the end of September. The picture above shows the fourth (and last) alfalfa field to bloom. As you can see, it is virtually an ocean of flowers, a true dream for my bees. No, alfalfa honey is not blue but present a very clear-white color. You will love it. 1kg Raw Alfalfa (Glass Jar) SOLD OUT 3kg Raw Alfalfa Pail SOLD OUT 5kg Raw Alfalfa Pail SOLD OUT
