Experience the Yin & Yang of Single Source Honey

Fragrant, light Single Source Basswood honey meets earthy, intense Buckwheat honey in this handcrafted gift set from the heart of central Minnesota. These two varieties could not be more different, but also complement each other surprisingly well.

Our legendary Basswood honey evokes delicate mid-summer blossoms and feminine aromas, while the Buckwheat honey is dark amber in color and robust with the incense of farm living and organic black dirt. A 100% beeswax candle in a travel tin completes this unique handcrafted gift set inspired by the diverse flavors and natural work of honey bees.

What’s Included

Optional Honey Substitution

Prefer something a little less bold? Please note the option in the menu to substitute Fall Wildflower honey in place of Buckwheat honey. Fall Wildflower offers a rich and savory flavor profile that is smoother and less earthy than Buckwheat.

Produced Through the Work of Honey Bees

Honey is made from plant nectar and is a direct product of the land surrounding the hive. Beeswax is produced from the bees' bodies in flakes that are used to build comb and capture the incoming liquid gold within the hive.

Together, honey and beeswax represent two remarkable products created through the daily work of honey bees. This collection is truly a gift from Nature and Ames Farm.

Two Distinct Single Source Honey Varieties

This gift set was created to highlight the dramatic differences that can exist between Single Source honey varieties. Basswood honey and Buckwheat honey are harvested from different nectar flows and represent opposite ends of the flavor spectrum found within raw honey.

Basswood honey is lighter, fragrant, and floral with delicate sweetness and aromatic notes often associated with summer blossoms. In contrast, Buckwheat honey is much darker and richer with bold earthy flavors and a more robust character.

Together, these two varieties create a tasting experience that showcases how honey directly reflects the flowers, land, and seasonal conditions surrounding the hive.

Light a Travel-Friendly Candle Tin Made From Pure Beeswax

Included with this collection is a 100% beeswax candle in a convenient travel tin. Our beeswax candles are naturally scented using wax produced by honey bees and contain no added fragrances.

Beeswax candles are appreciated for their warm glow, clean burn, and subtle honey-like aroma naturally created by the beeswax itself. Because beeswax is produced directly by the bees during comb building, each candle is also connected to the seasonal work of the hive.

The travel tin design makes the candle easy to enjoy at home or while traveling and adds a practical element to this handcrafted gift set.

A Thoughtful Gift for Honey Lovers

This gift set makes a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, host gifts, thank you gifts, and seasonal gift giving. The contrasting honey varieties create a unique tasting experience for both longtime honey enthusiasts and those discovering Single Source honey for the first time.

Combined with the beeswax travel candle and gift-ready recyclable packaging, this handcrafted collection offers a meaningful gift inspired by the natural work of honey bees and the flavors of central Minnesota.
