Goldenrod Honey

Goldenrod honey, is a monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the Goldenrod flowers (Solidago virgaurea ssp. Caucasica). This plant is commonly found in the Kolkheti lowland of Western Georgia. Goldenrod honey is harvested at the end of October, as the goldenrod blooms at the beginning of autumn.

The honey is characterized by its light, transparent color and is known for its rapid crystallization due to its high glucose content. This property makes Goldenrod honey ideal for feeding bee colonies during overwintering, providing a quick energy source to sustain them through the colder months.

In addition to its practical uses for beekeepers, Goldenrod honey offers several health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it a natural choice for supporting the immune system and promoting overall health. It is also believed to help with digestive issues and can be used as a natural sweetener in various foods and beverages.

With its unique properties and benefits, Goldenrod honey is a valuable addition to any honey collection and a favorite among beekeepers and honey enthusiasts alike.
