This month, we'd like to introduce you to the pure joy of Bee Raw Honey. Raw honey is the closest thing to honey from a beehive, and Bee Raw Honey is "monofloral," meaning made from only one type of flower per jar. That means a more refined, more distinctive aroma and flavor than what you'll find in blended, pasteurized bottles of commercial-grade honey.

Choose from these lush and aromatic varieties:

• Orange blossom -- refreshing notes of citrus fruit and rind are detectable, while the actual taste of fresh oranges is present but light. Use the amber-colored orange blossom on baked ham, mixed in fruit salad, or spooned over ice cream.


• Star Thistle -- this is a definite "must try"! A beautiful creamy yellow, this honey has soft notes of cinnamon and spices and a lovely, refined sweetness. We would recommend Star Thistle with anything; it will be the better half to your morning cup of tea, a slice of pound cake, a chunk of blue cheese--whatever suits the occasion.


• Wild Raspberry --light and gentle, with notes of raspberry flowers and fruit. A wispy aroma of white chocolate is detectable. Serve with créme fraiche and peaches, or creamy chunks of dark chocolate.


• Buckwheat -- you'll instantly think of gingerbread when you try this. Very similar in texture and color to molasses, with flavors of malt, wheat, and earth. Try making your own barbeque sauce, or pair with a strong cheese or tart citrus fruit.


• Blueberry -- intense and voluptuous, this honey hints at blueberry while it coats the palate and ends with flavors of butter. Serve with yogurt, walnuts, or drizzle over pancakes.
