The Sourwood Tree is an excellent source of nectar for beekeepers all around south central
Virginia. Sourwood honey is a premium honey that deserves a premium price. It has a mild
but slightly sour taste. This is the honey of choice for most people in this area. Tourist love
this honey for its almost clear color. The package of choice is the clear quart jar with a nice
slab of cut comb in the middle showing off its fine quality. If you are ever in the mountains or
foothills of south central Virginia, find yourself a local beekeeper or a farm market and treat yourself to one of the finest honey ever produced. |
