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.
Our very own Japanese Knotweed Honey is very dark with a pleasant and unique taste.
Japanese Knotweed Honey is a local specialty collected once a 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.
