Honey is a natural sweetener made by bees. In Florida, we’re lucky to have many kinds of honey.
The color and flavor of honey can vary widely, depending on what flower the bees use for their nectar source.
Orange blossom honey is light-colored and mild, with a fresh scent and a light citrus taste.
Tupelo honey is produced only in the Florida panhandle, and is heavy and sweet.
Mango honey and palmetto honey come from South Florida, as do lesser-known types like seagrape and mangrove.
Try a different variety of unique Florida honey next time you stop at a roadside stand or surf the Internet!
