I had not had Heather honey before coming to the UK. In fact, I had never had this honey until I joined the Association for a Taster Beekeeping Day where we were offered to try several specialty honeys. It was also explained to me just how special the Heather honey is, with local beekeepers transporting …

Borage Honey from Mick Smith

I had never heard of borage honey before coming to the UK. I wasn't sure what the plant even looked like. Well now I do: it is a blue flowering, edible plant mostly used for medicinal purposes - especially when processed into oil. Both honeybees and bumble bees love it. Mick Smith is a beekeeper …
