How is honey near Baton Rouge different?
The Gulf coastal plain is warm, wet, and long-blooming. Its honey leans on gallberry and titi in the wetlands, tupelo along the river swamps, and clover, cotton, and Chinese tallow across the lowlands. The extended season lets producers chase distinct early- and late-summer flows, so character varies a lot from one apiary to the next.
