For over 30 years we have been helping our hives harvest a distinctive and world famous honey variety from these flowers.
This poses a challenge to local ecosystems, but star thistle offers one major benefit: the great-tasting, nutritious honeybees it produces.
There are different types of star thistle flowers that are used in honey production.
The star thistle plant is available in purple, yellow and red varieties. Star thistles are part of the genus Centaurea.
They produce a lot of nectar and tend to clump together as they grow, which makes them great for honey production.
The purple-spotted knapweed is very common here in Michigan. The purple star thistle starts blooming in mid-summer and continues into fall, depending on weather conditions.
Our honey is 100% natural honey, guaranteed without added sugars.
This honey has a long shelf life.
