I know the guy who owns/runs W.G. White produce and his brother is a good friend of mine I will e-mail him and ask him if he has some or can get some.

I visited a beekeeper recently on a senior citizens trip. He said sourwood honey was a myth. Bees go everywhere to all types of trees etc. While they may go to a sourwood in season, they never go only to a sourwood. I have heard of sourwood honey all my life and have been with my father ( who had bees) when he looked at the light colored honey and declared it sourwood.
Now here is a link where you can buy sourwood made in NC. They say their bees go only to sourwoods.
