Understanding Mad Honey Potency Variations

Seasonal Differences:

The grayanotoxin concentration in mad honey varies significantly by harvest season based on the flowering time of rhododendron and wildflowers. 

Spring Harvest : In Nepal, usually in April- June the honey is  more potent due to higher rhododendron nectar concentration as it is the peak flowering season. Start with less dose when consuming spring harvested mad honey.

Autumn Harvest : In September -November generally milder with more balanced grayanotoxin levels as it's not the flowering time of rhododendron. Start with a high dose calibrated for autumn harvested honey.
