Just what IS IN your Honey?

[PaleoPerson]

Anybody tasted honey with a high ivy content .
My honey came in during an ivy flow, the smell is virtually non existent but it has a sharp taste but very sweet , (hit's the throat like a cough bottle ?)
Balsam was at a premium at the same time .
The honey is particularly viscous with no sign of granulation.

John Wilkinson (maybe I should store it for a couple of years ?

I had to take of a small amount of brace comb with Ivy honey in it. Tried it and cannot stand it. Reminds me a bit like 'Wintergreen'. Then a friend tried it and absolutely loved it. They kept it.

This stuff is very sweet ,it very light in colour no signs of granulation (not even insipid granulation) a customer of mine said his mother said "This is the best honey I have ever tasted" and promptly bought 8 jars , he was back for more 2 days later.

[For want of a better word]

Got to pick you up on that one, pick any homeopathic remedy off the shelf at the chem..ahem, witch emporium, and find ANYTHING other than water (with a memory of course) and I will buy you a pint!

A phisicist ( who also believed in homeopathic treatments) explained to me that although diluted to the 'n'th degree, the homeopathic reamedies had water that contained electrons with a particular wobble, not found in normal water.


Who knows... I believe in a hollistic approach to everything, as all things have an interconectiveness.

Bees are holistic beasts, but some Beekeepers seem to be reductionists.

So therfore, what is purity?
