Cotton Honey

[Dixiebeeco]

Hello All,
Heading down to S. GA this weekend to extract ~300 lbs Cotton Honey from my hives. Looking to make my 3rd batch of mead with this new crop of honey and was wondering if anyone has ever made a mead with Cotton honey?

Dixiebee,

Looking to sell the extra honey, if you are interested at $4 a pound give me a call at 843-367-1418 and leave a message.

What kind of honey does cotton produce? Light? Dark? I was down in S.Carolina last week and as a bee keeper was wondering about cotton honey when I was driving past the fields. Wish I could have found someplace local to buy some.

Very very light, some of it is almost whitish instead of yellow. Have not tried it.

Riverrat is correct. The honey is very light in color and some years almost clear as water. I really enjoy the Flat Rate post office boxes when it comes to shipping honey. Let me know if you would like to try some.

p.s. strong hives can make a lot of Cotton Honey.

Any discount then for bulk buying (5 gallons)?

I'd like to see you fit five gallons of honey in one of those flat rate boxes.

At $4 a pound that is already a $2 a pound discount. The price will go back up to $6 a pound at the end of next week. Starting to cool down outside and have several small sold orders for folks who like to bake for the fall.
