The nectar collected by bees, when they’re pollinating wildflowers, almost always comes from a number of different species; The honey is called “poly-floral” for that reason, since it comes from a variety of nectar sources that grow without deliberate cultivation. That means beekeepers and honey producers don’t plant a field full of wildflowers. The easiest way to describe wildflower honey is that most of the time it will be light and fruity. ...

Perhaps the best way to describe this honey is that it’s somewhat similar but a bit stronger than other types of honey known for being fruity and light, such as the orange blossom honey.

It’s ideal for use in cooking or in baking since its light taste won’t “drown out” the other ingredients. This honey is an ideal sweetener for tea, delicious when mixed with fruits to make smoothies, and is one of the best honeys for simply drizzling onto your choice of breakfast foods.

One of the biggest causes of seasonal allergies is pollen from wildflowers And studies have found that eating small amounts of local wildflower honey can help limit allergic reactions caused by pollen from flowers native to the area.
