How is honey near Apalachicola different?

This is tupelo country. Along the Apalachicola River, beekeepers float and truck hives into the swamps for the brief white-tupelo (Ogeechee tupelo) bloom in late April and May — a true varietal honey prized because it resists crystallizing. Gallberry and titi fill out the season. Genuine single-source tupelo is a narrow, weather-dependent harvest, which is exactly why the region is known for it.
