Primrose Honey Making your own honey is enjoyable and rewarding. There’s nothing that screams spring more than primrose flowers. If you forage your primrose, make sure it’s not on private property, only take what you need, and if in doubt, leave it out. Don’t forage unless you’re confident in your flower identification.
