Honey Hive
Not far from the edge of the forest, where sunlight filters through wildflower fields and the wind smells faintly of thyme and clover, there is a hive unlike any other.
Because not all honey is the same.
The color, texture, and flavor of honey change depending on both the flower and the bee. Some bees chase clover; others may prefer lavender, mesquite, or orange blossoms.
The results? A honey that’s floral or earthy, pale gold or deep amber, thick as molasses or thin as sunlight.
What’s even more fascinating is that Arizona has a rich diversity of native bees and flora. Some bees, such as the Leafcutter Bee and Cactus Bee, may not produce harvestable honey. However, they still play vital roles in pollinating native plants, helping desert ecosystems (and wildflowers!) thrive.
