Thank you for the note. All of our honey is swamp honey, as we are located in the middle of a swamp. Yet, Gallberry (aka ilex, holly, blooming for three weeks in April) is a primary nectar source for the honey by that name. Wildflower is composed of many different nectar sources, from many different flowers, reflecting that season’s honey flow (early spring), late spring, summer, fall in that geographical area. Hope this clears up the rather confusing nectar tastes of different honey.
