The One Everyone is Obsessed With & Low in Stock There’s a three-week window in spring when the world decides to show off. Black locust trees, wildflowers, fruit blossoms, lavender—it all explodes at once on Chesterhaven Beach Farm. The bees? They go into overdrive. The honey? It tastes like sunshine and flowers had a love child. What Makes Our Spring Honey Special? Single-farm origin: Every jar comes from Chesterhaven Beach Farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore — Kara's bees, Kara's flowers, Kara's harvest. There is no blending, no mystery sourcing, and no filler. A very short window: Black locust, fruit trees, wildflowers, and lavender don't all bloom at the same time for long. Kara times the harvest to catch that overlap at its peak, which is why the flavor is so concentrated and why the honey may sell out before the season ends. Floral, not perfume-floral: The flavor is bright and pollen-forward — the kind of floral that tastes like actually being outside in May, not like a candle. Sweet, but with enough complexity to hold its own next to strong cheese or savory food. Minimally filtered: Nothing is added and as little as possible is removed. Natural pollen, enzymes, and character stay in the jar. May crystallize over time: That's what real honey does. It's not a flaw — it's a sign. Warm the jar gently in hot water to bring it back to liquid. Star K Kosher certified: Certified by Star K. A Honey Royale: Spring Honey is classified as a Honey Royale — a designation reserved for honeys we can't always get. These are not discounted, ever. When they're available, they're worth it. Stock up while this season's harvest lasts — once it sells out, the next jar won't come until spring. How to use: Spring honey's bright, floral character makes it one of the most versatile honeys in the kitchen. Drizzle it over a wedge of aged cheddar or blue cheese, where the sweetness cuts through the funk cleanly. Swirl it into Greek yogurt or fresh ricotta. Use it in a simple vinaigrette — honey, mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar — where the floral notes play well with bitter greens. It's also excellent stirred into chamomile or lavender tea, spread on a warm biscuit or scone, or eaten straight off a spoon, which is probably how most of it ends up going.
