Most people have never tasted varietal honey: honey made from a single flower, with zero additives.

That's why our Meadowfoam tastes like marshmallows and our Sweet Clover has hints of cinnamon.

Come try them side by side at our tasting room. Free honey tasting at The HIVE! 🍯

Toxic w**d. Incredible honey. Here's the story. 🍯

Yellow Star Thistle is invasive and toxic to horses. But the honey it produces is light, with hints of banana and crème brûlée.

In the late 1970s. Ishai Zeldner discovered this honey in Northern California and couldn't stop giving it away. Eventually, he realized he couldn't afford to keep gifting it. That's how our business was born!

Available at The HIVE tasting room or online.

Cultivated Buckwheat is a cover crop farmers use to enrich the soil naturally.

When it blooms, bees create honey that's dark, bold, and unforgettable.
DSome say it smells like a barnyard or even cat p*e... NOTHING like any honey you've ever tried before.

Let us know in the comments down below if you're bold enough to try this honey!
