I've tried them all and this is #1

I'm from MI and I found a little jar of their false dragonhead honey in a health food store. I took it home and had some in my tea and it was just so rich and butterscotchy! I was looking at their website and saw they have single sourced honey from invasive species which I thought was so interesting as I work in the conservation field. I ordered some more and I was hooked. Now I'm having a honey themed birthday party so I literally have bought every flavor and this summer blossoms one is my top favorite. It has notes of melon it's so wonderful!!
