The spring bloom is in high gear at Sourwood Knoll. Our spring honey, which is mostly Tulip Poplar, has a unique blend of Blackberry and Locust nectar mixed in. This year appears to be a bumper crop for each of these. I actually have more customers that want my Tulip Poplar than the Sourwood. It is a well kept secret that many beekeepers enjoy the Tulip Poplar bend with other wildflowers that bloom at the same time. This mixture can vary according to the local flora. Sourwood Knoll has a unique blend of spring flora. If you have never tried it, you should give it a try.
A walk around the Knoll found the Blueberries are loaded and so are the grapes. Looks like a great year for sure. Lots of other plants have a beautiful bloom also after the poor sping we had last year. Just keep your fingers crossed that the weather will continue to cooperate for both the Tulip Poplar and the Sourwood, which comes in July. Contact me if you are interested in trying the tasty delights my apiary produces!
