Tupelo honey

Tupelo honey is a rare and unique honey variety with a devoted following. Each year, from mid-April to early May, the white tupelo tree produces delicate round blossoms. Greenish-white in color, these blossoms last no more than three weeks. With bad weather, the bloom time is even shorter. But when the temperatures are mild, the air is humid, and rainstorms stay away, then the bees get to work collecting tupelo nectar. And the bees seem to enjoy the nectar just as much as we love the honey it makes.
