Tupelo Honey

Tupelo Gum Tree |
Pure Tupelo honey is produced from the White Ogeechee Tupelo (nyssa
ogeche), it ranges through the Ogeechee River, the Apalachicola,
and the Chattahoochee River Basins of northwest
Florida. These river valleys are the only place in the
world where Tupelo Honey is produced commercially. Bee hives are placed
along the river's edge. The bees fan out through the surrounding
Tupelo blossom rich swamps during April and May and return with
nectar to produce their liquid treasure.
Pure Tupelo honey has a light amber golden color with a slight
greenish cast. This honey is a choice table grade honey with a
delicious flavor with a delicate distinctive taste. Honey
produced from only the White Tupelo is the only honey that will not
granulate. Due to it's high laevulose (44.3%), low dextrose
(29.98%) ratio (average), doctors have been able to recommend some
diabetic patients to consume Tupelo Honey
Other Honeys
During other times of the year, our association members
also produce various blends of wild flower honey.
