Previously, I had a few hives in my back garden. These colonies produced a honey that tasted of flowers. I'm not a huge honey fan, but it even tasted amazing to me, and many people commented on it.
It being my first beekeeping season, I assumed this was the norm.
End of last year, I migrated the bees to a local private estate, just 600 mt's away. 2 acres, overgrown with blackberry, where I've expanded the operation to a dozen colonies.
Now the honey is very light and has very little taste. At a recent honey tasting event no one chose my honey.
Does blackberry produce flavourless honey?
Any ideas and feedback welcome. Thanks.
