The tupelo trees are in full bloom now, so beekeepers along the Apalachicola River valley are busy with production. If you’re ready for a taste of this mild but distinctive honey, you don’t have to go to the source (although it’s fun) in Wewahitchka, a small town between Blountstown and Port St. Joe where the bulk of the apiaries are.
Instead, you can pop into a produce stand, or meet the tupelo honey man – a personable fellow who’s happy to tell you why you should be having a little tupelo honey every day.
