Tupelo Honey Florida 2021 Released: Production Low - Extraordinary Quality Apalachicola Sponge Company, the source for Florida's unique raw Tupelo honey, releases the 2021 harvest. The company, located in historic Apalachicola, Florida, sells Tupelo honey, Florida natural sea sponges from Tarpon Springs , and hand-made luxury goat's milk soaps. Owner Jerry Garlick says of the 2021 harvest, “This year's Tupelo honey is some of the best in years, in the upper 90% realm.” Tupelo tree blossoms need bees for pollination, and in recent years, the bee population suffered because of low water levels. Years of low river flow result in lower quality and less supply of honey. When there's plenty of rain, and the river flows freely, both oysters and bees thrive. The 2021 weather conditions were near perfect, and the river’s water level was high. Because the bees flourished, they created excellent quality honey, with delicate floral character and some buttery notes. The amber color has the 'greenish' tinge indicative of high- quality Tupelo honey. Consumers can buy Tupelo honey in the store located at 14 Avenue D St, Apalachicola, FL 32320. Early on there was some concern due to high winds, but flowering went well, and the timing for the bees was good. Also available is the 2021 Holly honey that Garlick says is "The best Holly honey I've seen. Supply is slightly lower than last year, but, Garlick maintained his retail pricing due to long-standing relationships with his suppliers. Contact Us: https://www.ApalachSp ongeCompany.com/
