It isn’t always easy to detect subtle differences between honeys. That’s why we like to compare several varieties side by side. This Beehive Bee sampler includes nine unprocessed honey varietals, so once you discover which one is your favorite, you can buy a larger jar.

Nine-piece honey sampler, $45, at Bee Raw Honey (888-660-0090).
