Knotweed - Bamboo Honey
Raw Knotweed Honey is called a variety of names from Bamboo Honey to Japanese Knotweed; along with, a variety of other names. Our bamboo honey is not heated and has been strained by gravity to remove bee bits. Bamboo honey comes from the Japanese Knotweed plant which is found in 39 of the 50 states. Bamboo honey is in the same family as Buckwheat Honey.
Our very own Knotweed Honey is a local specialty collected once during the year. Selected hives are placed in late summer or early fall near large stands of the plant - typically found along streams and rivers.
The bees produce a unique dark, reddish tint honey from the tiny white flowers. Knotweed is an invasive species, but the upside of this plant is that it is a plentiful and a nutritious food source for the bees right before they head into winter.
