Randolph Dark Honey is the richest honey we've ever tried. We have some each day in our coffee, and substitute it for sugar whenever possible. Randolph Dark Honey is made by bees right here in Randolph County! According to Mark, the owner of Justin Case Bee Products, their Randolph Dark Honey gets it's dark coloring from the specific area that the bees live in. Some plants have darker pollen and nectar, and certain minerals in higher amounts - this contributes to the darker color of the honey. Raw honey in general is naturally antimicrobial, and contains minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants. The darker the honey, the more of these the honey contains. More nutrients = more flavor!
