Local Hive So Cal Raw and Unfiltered Honey is a smooth, premium honey with a rich, citrusy taste. This honey is made entirely by California bees and beekeepers pollinating in the Golden State, giving it a unique local flavor. The warm, dry weather of southern California means that honeybees are active throughout the year, foraging for nectar from the California poppy, Humboldt lily, and other wildflowers. This wonderful honeys taste is light with a honey of citrus, pairing well with black and chai teas, or even with pancakes as a natural sweetener instead of syrup.
