Raw Balkan Black Locust Honey

Has anyone heard of this before? I wonder if black locust trees are able to thrive in the south west of england.

I am sure it will. You will need a few acres of it - and nothing else to get a crop of black locust honey.

Robinia pseudoacacia

Black locust - aka false acacia.

Common as muck, as they say. I have four in the garden.

...and I think you will find that 'Acacia' honey is not made by bees foraging on true acacia trees, but on Robinia pseudoacacia.

Thus "Black locust honey" and "Acacia honey" are but one and the same.

I personally find this specific type of honey one of the least interesting taste-wise, pale yellow, almost colorless and very very liquid. For someone that has not seen or tasted this honey before, it may seem very flat.
