Varietal Honeys! The sweetest part of Bee Chama.
Desert Wildflower Honey
(Plant origin, New Mexico & Sonoran Desert)
Our dark, rich, robust desert honey is unbeatable to those with a taste for strong honeys. THIS IS OUR BEST SELLER!!
The natural blend of wildflowers ranges from tamarisk, salt cedar & mesquite tree blossoms to cactus flowers. The predominant nectar is tamarisk and has a pungent after-taste. It’s great in coffee & black tea and wonderful drizzled over corn bread with butter. The bees are foraging on pesticide-free desert flowers. Still one of our BEST SELLING honeys of the Southwest. Many people claim this is the honey that they remember from childhood.

Cat’s Claw/Mesquite Honey
(Plant origin, New Mexico/Texas/Arizona)
This variety has the widest variation from season to season. It depends greatly on the amount of rainfall early in the spring in Southern New Mexico. Less rain in the spring makes for lighter purer harvests of mesquite. Cat’s Claw acacia has flowers in yellow, cylindrical spikes. The flowers and leaves of this plant resemble mesquite, but Cats Claw thorns are like rose thorns, broad at the base and curved backward while mesquite thorns are straight. The seed pods of the Cat’s Claw split upon maturing. Mesquite pods do not.
Cats Claw/Mesquite is an Acacia honey of the Southwest with a mild flavor and buttery consistency that greets the senses gently and is wonderful on toast or in tea. Try it on a brownie or chocolate cake as a substitute for frosting and you’ll be amazed.

Sage/Willow
(Plant origin, New Mexico)
One of our lightest, most mild desert honeys the Sage/Willow variety is usually harvested in the fall months in limited extractions. The arroyos are full of desert willow trees and the hills are covered with sage. This is a favorite of local New Mexicans who were fond of the Desert Marigold, also a mild desert honey that has been in very limited production for the last few years. Light enough for green teas and herbals, there is little to no after-taste with Sage honey. Excellent for anyone living in desert regions suffering from allergies.

Mountain Wildflower
(Plant origin, Colorado/ New Mexico)
Mountain wildflower honey is a natural blend of wildflowers from the mountain regions of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. It is a light floral honey with a sweet flavor. During the best seasons this honey is predominantly mountain clover. Mountain wildflower is produced at 8,000 ft and is a delicate, mild honey that turns anything into a treat. Our spring harvest is the palest yellow with fall harvests yielding floral nectars that produce a rich, golden honey with more Snowberry nectar. This honey crystallizes with very fine grains into an almost whipped butter. Yummy spread over toast with your favorite nut butter!

Mountain Gamble Oak Honey
(Plant origin, New Mexico/Colorado)
This is not a true flower nectar honey. It is a honey dew honey. It is a by-product of aphid infestations on gamble oak groves in Northern New Mexico. During times of extreme drought the bees have no choice but to collect it. Its woody flavor is like no other honey and it is slower to crystallize than most floral honeys. This is a rare honey, happening only every 6-10 years. It’s also the beekeeper’s favorite, so trust his intuition.
