I used to buy honey from a farm stand that was private labeled...over time after talking to the owner, he told me that he bought his honey in bulk from many different sources and just bottled it. That pretty much turned me off ...so unless, I can “see” the hives, I’m uncertain as to where the honey was gathered.
My guy said he had his own hives and had them in areas that had large numbers of Tallow trees. Tallow trees are a sort of trash tree in the Gulf Coast area, so I don’t know how he refers to his honey as wildflower honey. Like I said I would have a few more questions for him now that I have read your article.
