Frequently Asked Questions

The colour of honey can range from nearly clear to deep amber. It all comes down to where bees collect their nectar.

To produce honey, bees must gather nectar from thousands of flowers, and the composition of each flower’s nectar is slightly different. Factors such as the floral source, location, time of year and moisture content can all play a role in determining the colour of honey. For example, honey made from clover nectar tenders to be light and white, while honey from buckwheat flowers is much darker. Seasonal changes also influence nectar composition, meaning early season honey may look different from late season honey.

This natural variation is what makes honey so special and gives us a delicious spectrum of choices and flavour profiles to enjoy!
