- Description tasmanian RAW Prickly Box CREAMED Honey 500G Prickly Box or Christmas Bush Honey is a unique variety of honey from Tasmania, Australia. Like Leatherwood honey, it reflects regional specificity, but it stands apart with its own flavor, color, and floral source. Bees create this honey from the nectar of the Prickly Box bush (Bursaria spinosa), also called the Tasmanian Christmas Bush. The bush bursts into masses of white blossoms during summer, right in time for the Christmas season in the Southern Hemisphere.
