We got all the goodness right now. Multiple kinds and sizes ready to dazzle your taste buds. The nearby forage creates a unique flavor for each apiary.
Tosa Gold has an incredibly floral vibe from all the wildflowers and basswood trees nearby.
Lapham Red is has a more earthy profile given it's proximity to the park it's named after.
Comb honey will rocket you into another dimension (legally) also from the southern Kettle Moraine.

Combhoney is $18 for a 4x4 square weighing 12+ oz
1lb squeeze bottle are $12
24 oz squeeze bottles are $15
48 oz jars are $27.

I offer a porch pickup in East Tosa or you can get delivery from my friends in the MKE Metro area.

One more round of feeding next weekend and they should be all set. Also got a batch of comb honey packaged and ready to go. This is the cream of the crop if you consider yourself a honey connasuier.
