Paradise Valley Autumn Gold Honey

Embrace the rich, deep flavors of late summer and early autumn with our Bee Wild Paradise Valley Autumn Gold honey. Harvested at the cusp of seasons, at the end of August, this distinct honey boasts a darker, more robust profile, often referred to as “forest honey” by connoisseurs. This unique character is a testament to the diverse floral tapestry of our valley at this time of year, where the bees gather nectar from a bounty of late-season blooms.
