Rhinelander — the Northwoods capital of Oneida County, Wisconsin, where the Wisconsin and Pelican Rivers converge and where the legendary Hodag of Wisconsin folklore roams the boreal lakeland forests of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest that surround this outdoor recreation gateway city: basswood honey from the American linden groves that line the lakeshores and river corridors of Oneida County's extraordinary glacial lake landscape, producing an intensely aromatic summer honey that Wisconsin beekeepers consider the finest northern varietal, boreal wildflower honey from the native plant communities of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest where the transition between the broadleaf deciduous and mixed conifer zones creates a botanical diversity that supports exceptional honey production, fireweed honey from the post-logging and post-fire successional habitats of the Northwoods landscape where Epilobium angustifolium blooms profusely on disturbed sites each July, goldenrod honey from the late-summer meadows and old-field habitats of Oneida County's agricultural margins, and sweet clover honey from the hayfields and roadsides of the Northwoods agricultural communities. This August festival at Pioneer Park celebrates Rhinelander's extraordinary Northwoods honey heritage through beekeepers from Wisconsin's lakeland country, the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest communities, and the Upper Michigan border region, offering competitive honey shows featuring the region's signature basswood and boreal wildflower varietals, guided tastings, and educational programs on beekeeping in northern Wisconsin's boreal-edge ecosystems.
