Once again, our bees have been busy in our backyard. The honey on the left was harvested in October while the honey on the right is from July. It’s quite amazing the color difference when we set them side by side.

Honey’s color is graded on a continuous scale called the Pfund scale by the USDA. The USDA’s seven color categories are: Water White, Extra White, White, Extra Light Amber, Light Amber, Amber, and Dark Amber.

From just a quick glance, we think the lighter honey is possibly on the darker side of White and the darker honey is Amber.

What causes the color is, of course, the type of pollen the bees have available to them.

We have Russian Sage planted in our yard and we think that might be the source of the lighter honey. Sources of pollen begin to thin as the heat of summer sets in around Clayton. As for the darker honey, the sources are probably more varied as the bees have been hard at work throughout the spring and early summer. Wildflowers, including mustard flowers and poppies, are visible all over our neighborhood in Clayton. Our neighbor just up the street has several stone fruit trees that bloom in the spring so we think that might be where our bees head during the day, too.

Now to the taste! From our taste test at home, we noted a richer taste with the darker honey and the lighter honey is more floral with a light flavor. Either way, super sweet!

If you interested in purchasing our honey, the pictured jars are $10 each for 10 ounces of honey. We also have larger and smaller jars, too! Just message us and we’ll let you know. At any size, they make a nice addition to all your upcoming holiday gatherings.

Thank you for reading this long post and supporting local & very small businesses.

I will say that when we put our bee suits on and go into the hives you kind of have to get into a very zen like state in your head. Without a suit is amazing!
