The 2026 crop

Hill Country Spring Willow

Unifloral willow honey from Llano County, harvested April 2026. Limited early-season specialty. We do not list a price here. Write us to order.

Upright jar of Fine Llano Honey, light amber, with a circular label of a bee in a cowboy hat

Lab-analyzed unifloral Salix

62% willow pollen. Persimmon behind it.

This crop reads as willow honey, 62.16% Salix, well above the ~45% monofloral line, with Texas persimmon (Diospyros, 24.32%) as a real secondary, not a rumor. Light in the jar. Woody, earthy, herbaceous, green on the tongue.

Packed as the bees made it: all natural, unfiltered, never heated, no chemical treatments in the yards. Spring 2026 harvest complete.

Tasting

How it drinks

Light-colored spring honey.

Woody, earthy, herbaceous, green. More creek bank than clover field.

Mild-to-tangy, with a slight bitter edge when very fresh. It mellows with age.
