This is Great Honey, from Rescued Bees
The honey you are about to enjoy was produced by bees residing in Somis, Ventura, and Topanga. The avocado honey was made in Somis and Ventura, while the wildflower honey is produced by the hard working bees in Topanga. Many of these hives are "rescued" bees; they were in homes and trees in urban settings and the homeowner wished to have them removed as opposed to exterminated. Now they are where they are appreciated and cared for, and in return, they provide and produce some of the best honey available.
You will notice that the avocado honey is very dark, especially when compared to wildflower honey. It was made from, you guessed it, the blossoms of the avocado tree. It is very rich, and has a much stronger taste than you are probably accustomed to if you are used to the typical clover honey. But it is an extremely vibrant honey that provides great flavor to all kinds of recipes, with a character and consistency that suits being used for a syrup very well. This is NOT a honey you want to use to sweeten your tea, as the strength of its flavor will certainly overwhelm that of the drink. As a dark honey, it is believed to have much more minerals and trace vitamins than a lighter variety would.
The wildflower honey is lighter in color, and made from a plethora of wildflower blossoms. Sage, sumac, mustard, bottlebrush, lavender; the list goes on and on when it comes to this hybrid. The result is an extremely sweet honey with crisp and clean overtones. If you enjoy subsitituting sugar for honey as a sweetener for your recipes and drinks, this is the honey for you.
Both of these varieties were never heated when bottled, and were only strained once, not filtered. It is bottled by hand, one at a time, no gimmicks, no gadgets. Therefore, it is loaded with traces of pollen, minerals, and traces of many good things that would otherwise have been destroyed during the bottling process. What is in these bottles is exactly the same as if you broke open the cappings on a frame of honey comb, straight from the hive.
