Types of Honey:

• Buckwheat: Dark and bold, buckwheat honey is collected fresh from the small white blossoms of the buckwheat grain. It's grown in the United States, France, Canada, Japan, and the Netherlands. Typically compared to blackstrap molasses, this honey variety is characterized by an earthy aroma and a rich amber color. It has a stronger and heartier taste than lighter honey varieties, and it's also higher in antioxidants.
• Wildflower: Wildflower honey features a select blend of wild blossoms and flowers. Because wildflower honey is collected from any variety of wildflowers depending on the season and region that they're in bloom, it may originate from any country that grows honey. Its taste varies depending on the flower source. However, it's typically slightly darker than other honey varieties, adding a robust flavor.
• Clover: Grown in Canada, the United States, Sweden, and New Zealand, Clover honey is the best-known honey variety with the largest annual production. It has a sweet, mild taste with a hint of cinnamon and a light golden color.  Although clover honey doesn't contain as many antioxidants as darker varieties, such as buckwheat and manuka, it's the perfect all-purpose honey to keep on hand.
•  Alfalfa: Largely produced in the United States and Canada, the alfalfa honey variety is created with nectar from bright purple alfalfa blossoms. The final product is a light, herbal-flavored honey with delicate, mildly sweet undertones. Alfalfa's smooth texture and mild taste are akin to clover honey. Because Alfalfa is slightly less sweet, it is better for cooking applications. Add it to pastries and bread as a healthy alternative to sugar. 
• Orange Blossom: Fresh from the spring blossoms of Florida's orange groves, orange blossom honey features light citrus undertones. It has a golden color and a wholesome, sweet taste and aroma. The citrusy elements of orange blossom honey add an exciting element.
• Baker's Special: Baker's special honey is a blend of classic honey varieties. It has a deep amber color and a more robust taste than lighter, tableside honey. As its name implies, baker's special honey is the perfect alternative to standard sugar. This honey variety is frequently used for brewing batches of mead.

As time goes on, you may notice that your honey has lost its liquid consistency and formed crystals. This is perfectly normal! It's common for honey to crystallize over time. If you notice solid, chunky pieces begin to develop in your Monarch's Choice honey, don't worry! Your honey has simply crystallized, but is still safe to eat. To return your honey to a liquid state, place it in a heat-safe container, then gently warm it up, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Because honey contains water and a mix of sugars (mainly glucose and fructose), the sugar can precipitate over time. As this happens, the water separates from the sugar, creating the appearance of small crystals. Prevent honey from crystallizing by storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It's also best to avoid refrigerating honey since this speeds up crystallization. You can consume honey in its crystallized form. Some people even find that it has a richer flavor and is easier to spread.
