Hi from Gower in Wales.

[Gower Beekeeper]

Just taken off my latest crop of honey. The bees are more interested in the Ivy than cleaning out the wet frames I returned to them.

Store the frames wet, it's easier and better

Even the wasps are here are feasting on the Ivy. I am expecting a crop if the weather holds fine.

I thought Ivy made bitter honey?

Certainly a strong aromatic honey some may say pungent honey, I can't say I found it bitter but for sure is distinctive in taste and aroma.

It ages quite well. Much better the following year

Delumchus one might say and very madicinal.
