Melato Honeydew Honey (Forest Honey) - 60lbs.
Regular price
$250.00
In the cold months in the south, this tree is the only species that supply pollen and nectar in abundance and is therefore very useful for beekeeping. Because they are highly melliferous, they are widely visited by bees of the genus Apis sp and Trigona sp, which pollinate their flowers in search of honey. The honey of the Bracatinga flower is rare and of a bitter taste, but incredibly medicinal. It acts on the stomach, liver, and intestines. It helps to balance the rate of sugar in the blood. Diabetics and hypoglycemics can use it.

We love using this honey on fruits like banana. Perfect honey for coffee or use in baking due to its flavor profile. Melato is also highly recommended for marinades.
