Jewelweed Honey

Our Jewelweed Single-Source Honey is crafted by bees foraging on native jewelweed flowers that bloom briefly in late August through September in Minnesota. This short bloom window—and the wild nature of the plant—make this honey truly special and incredibly limited.

As bees dive into the trumpet-shaped blossoms, the anthers dust them with a distinctive white stripe of pollen across their backs—an unmistakable marker of their visit. You can even spot the stripes as they return to the hive!

Jewelweed Honey offers a bold, herbal flavor with a bright citrus finish. Its complexity and rarity make it a true treasure for honey enthusiasts seeking something uncommon and naturally extraordinary.

Because our Jewelweed Honey is raw and never heated, it retains all of its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and beneficial properties just as the bees intended. As a result, the texture may vary, it might arrive liquid, partially crystallized, or fully crystallized. For tips on gently returning raw honey to a liquid state, please visit our FAQ section for directions for how to liquefy raw honey.

The Rarity of Jewelweed Single-Source Honey

Jewelweed Single-Source Honey is made from nectar gathered solely from jewelweed blossoms, a native wildflower that blooms briefly at the end of summer. Unlike blended honeys, which mix floral sources, this single-origin honey captures the essence of one plant, highlighting jewelweed’s bold, herbaceous flavor with a hint of citrus.

Harvested in small batches and left completely raw, this honey retains its full spectrum of natural enzymes, nutrients, and antioxidants. The result is a uniquely vibrant honey that reflects the fleeting beauty of the jewelweed flower and the purity of its wild surroundings.
