This is the best honey in the State of New Jersey, according to the 2020 New Jersey Honey Show.

Our bees forage in the South Mountain Reservation of New Jersey stopping at their favorite flowers along the way. From linden, poplar, Japanese bamboo, and a variety of wildflowers, they collect nectar to produce delicious honey.

"Oh...my...God!  That honey is amazing! If I didn't know better, I'd swear you'd put some kind of orange flavoring in it. That stuff's not going into tea...it's strictly for spreading on bread where you can really taste it!"

And a few weeks later Brian said:

"I had some friends taste it just two nights ago. You're gonna need more bees!"

Sold out? We'll let you know when it's back in stock.

Because our honey is popular and our apiary is small, we sell out quickly. Please join our mailing list to be notified as soon as honey becomes available.  Here's the link to join.

 A note on Japanese bamboo honey

Japanese bamboo honey, as its name suggests, is made from Japanese bamboo or Japanese knotweed (Fallopia Japonica). It has a distinctive dark amber color, and a rich deep flavor, with floral, caramel, and citric notes. It’s naturally high in sugar, leaving a soothing coat to the throat.

Because of its intense flavor, it pairs well with mild fresh cheeses such as goat cheese and Saint Angel, however, it creates a delectable contrast with sharper cheeses such as aged gouda and parmesan cheese.

Japanese bamboo honey is a delicacy that is only available in the fall in years when there isn’t a summer drought. Therefore we celebrate it when we can harvest it. This Japanese bamboo honey comes from South Mountain Bees in Northern New Jersey, where Japanese bamboo is abundant in river banks and forest areas.
