Where is Tupelo Honey produced?

Pure Tupelo is produced from the White Ogeechee Tupelo (nyssa ogeche), it ranges through the Ogeechee River, the Apalachicola, and the Chattahoochee River Basins of northwest Florida. These river valleys are the only place in the world where Tupelo Honey is produced commercially. Bee hives are placed along the river's edge. The bees fan out through the surrounding Tupelo blossom rich swamps during April and May and return with nectar to produce their liquid treasure.

Pure Tupelo has a light amber golden color with a slight greenish cast. This honey is a choice table grade honey with a delicious flavor with a delicate distinctive taste. Honey produced from only the White Tupelo is the only type that will not granulate. Due to it's high laevulose (44.3%), low dextrose (29.98%) ratio (average), doctors have been able to recommend this type to some diabetic patients.
