| In order to create true Orange Blossom honey, beekeepers move their beehives into the orange groves after extracting existing honey from the comb cells. As the orange trees begin to blossom, the bees will visit the aromatic blossoms, collecting the sweet, citric nectar. When the last blossoms are growing into juicy oranges, the beekeepers will take their hives home. Before placing the hives near another floral source, the honey is extracted from the hives, resulting in delectable Orange Blossom Honey. Do not expect to be overwhelmed by orange essence in Orange Blossom honey. Your taste buds will simply be teased with hints of the citric origins of the honey. This pleasant combination of sweet honey and subtle orange essence make Orange Blossom honey a popular favorite. Orange Blossom Honey is very sweet, with a citrus aftertaste. This honey from Florida is great to use in teas, baking, or as an all around sweetener. |
