Bermuda honey is particularly unique as ordinarily bees collect nectar and pollen from the same source. Given the size of Bermuda, it means bees collect from a range of sources from gardens and wildflowers, creating a unique taste. Bermuda’s major honey flow happens in autumn when the Mexican pepper is in bloom. After the harvest you’ll be able to track down some of this golden good stuff from the following businesses:
Wild Island Farms
A local family farm that also applies their organic principals to their beekeeping practices. As a result of being chemical and antibiotic free in their hives, their products are certainly all natural.
