Set real quick ?
I have a hive at my Mums house which is right next to a very large park with lots of mature trees. They are Chestnut (conker), Lime, Plane and Sycamore. There are also a lot of gardens as its in town although away from the shops / centre.
Both of my harvests from this hive have been light / medium in colour but both have set quite quickly although not a rock hard set.
The last harvest only 3 weeks ago has already set in the buckets.
This isnt a problem as will warm and filter before bottling but I was wondering if its the Chestnut and Lime that have made it set.........or something else. Nearest OSR would be 2 + miles away at least as the bee flies
any ides
thanks
