Weed or Wildflower

Either way, I don't think the bees care.  The flowers are  great sources of nectar for bees and butterflies So in less than a month, we'll have lots of goldenrod honey.  It's a little darker and a little stronger in taste than our earlier summer wildflower honey, there is a slightly spicy taste. The honey is truly delicious... warm and sweet ....a great antidote to the shorter and colder fall days.

 

Goldenrod honey does tend to crystallize faster than clover honey or other wildflower honey. Crystallization does not change the flavor or ruin the honey. If you want liquid honey, it can be gently warmed by placing the container of honey in a bowl of hot water until it liquefies. Never microwave honey. This destroys the nutritional value of the honey. Crystallized honey may also be used "as is".  A slightly crystallized honey is easier to spread on toast anyway.
