What is the term for honey produced in the spring?

The term for honey produced in the spring is spring honey. This honey typically comes from the nectar of early blooming flowers and trees that are abundant during the spring season, such as fruit trees and wildflowers. The characteristics of spring honey often reflect the floral sources available during this time, leading to a lighter color and milder flavor compared to honeys produced later in the year. Understanding the different types of honey and their seasonal production is important for beekeepers, as it helps in managing hives and expectations for honey yields throughout the year. This distinction enhances a beekeeper's knowledge about their bees' foraging patterns and the seasonal availability of nectar sources.
