Ames Farm Basswood Raw Comb Honey (Linden)

Raw basswood comb honey from Ames Farm, a single-source honey farm in Delano, Minnesota. Basswood is the North American linden tree (Tilia americana), and this honey stays in the wax comb the bees built instead of being extracted. Ames Farm describes basswood as one of the lightest honeys in color and flavor, and its current harvest as very fragrant, with subtle hints of mint and citrus. Each comb is a 5 oz edible piece, hand-cut from the frame, and the wax can be eaten too. Serve it on a cheese board, with toast or biscuits, or over yogurt or ice cream.
