This honey has a milder flavour profile than many and came from the bees in June. It's caramelly but not too sweet though, with hints of the greenery the bees are surrounded by to it.
If you like your honey to:
- make a honey sandwich as a pick-me-up snack
- eat by the spoonful as a quick, delicious treat
this would be a good honey for you!
Chris thinks this one will have oil seed rape in it which could explain some of the more savoury flavour notes. Let's see how it crystalises - if it's pale and creamy then the oil seed rape is indeed playing its part.
Chris has 3 hives in his garden, set in wonderfully lush countryside, with tree canopies and wild flower verges lining the country roads. His bees are next to his vegetable garden and the surrounding trees, hedgerows and fields.
