wild honey

Nature's sweetener, uncultivated

Wild honey is honey produced by bees living in natural settings rather than managed hives—gathered from hollow trees, rock crevices, or other wild nests.

It carries connotations of purity and naturalness, often appearing in biblical and literary contexts: John the Baptist lived on locusts and wild honey.

The term also markets honey as unprocessed or foraged.
