Ukrainian Sunflower Honey

From the Golden Fields Ukraine grows sunflowers the way other countries grow wheat. Miles of them. Fields that stretch to the horizon, turning entire regions bright yellow in summer. The bees work those fields, collect nectar from sunflower blossoms, and make honey that tastes distinctly different from anything domestic beekeepers produce. The flavor is smooth, clean, with pure sunflower character. Bright yellow color, almost golden. It's subtle—not bold, not assertive—but people who try it once keep ordering it. There's something about monofloral sunflower honey from Ukraine that American sunflower honey doesn't capture. Maybe it's the scale of the fields. Maybe it's the terroir. Maybe it's both. We donate $1 from every jar to United Help Ukraine, where 94% of donations go directly to humanitarian programs. The honey supports the people who've been tending these fields for generations. The purchase supports those same communities now. Kara brought home a quart when we were bottling. I
