“Black Locust Honey is my preferred honey and Bee Inspired sits firmly at the top of my list.”
Ten days in May, white blossoms, Maryland bees — and what comes out of that window is a honey so pale and clean it quietly converts people who swore they weren't honey people. Keep it on the counter. It won't last long enough to need a cabinet.
Black locust trees bloom for ten days. Maybe two weeks if the weather cooperates. May into June, depending on how warm spring comes. The trees explode with cascading white flowers that smell like wisteria mixed with something sweet you can't name. Bees work them hard. Then it's over. Europeans call this acacia honey. Americans call it black locust. Same tree, different name. The tree—Robinia pseudoacacia—is native to the Appalachian region but was planted all over Europe centuries ago. It naturalized there, became part of the landscape, got called false acacia. The honey from European forests and American forests is identical. Just depends where the bees are.
How to use: Use it anywhere a lighter honey won't overpower — stirred into herbal or green tea, drizzled over fresh chèvre or ricotta, spooned onto yogurt with fruit, or folded into a glaze for delicate pastries. It pairs especially well anywhere you want sweetness without the assertiveness of a darker varietal.
