Augusta National Golf Club, known for its picturesque landscape, has taken a unique approach by producing its own honey. This initiative started three years ago when officials discovered a bee swarm on the grounds. They began raising hives, and the honey produced is now used by the culinary team in dishes served during the Masters tournament. The club is home to over 350 varieties of plants, which provide a diverse nectar source for the bees, influencing the flavor and color of the honey. For instance, honey from orange blossoms is typically light-colored, while wildflower honey tends to be darker.
