Separating Honey

[Stickyfingers]

So does anyone extract per hive and keep separate.

One step further does anyone extract per super, the first being being a different flavor to those later in the year depending what was in blossom?

or do you prefer to mix it all up?

I keep hive areas separate,

Essex honey and Kent honey

 

[REDWOOD]

Different times of year and apiaries

 

[dpearce4]

same as Redwood

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

yup - keep different apiaries honey separate and different extractions if there is a significant diference

Essex honey and Kent honey

Kent stuff looks best

 

[BILL.HEARD]

Keep OSR separate, all other honey goes into tubs apart from any Bell Heather which I would keep to one side.

 

[ratcatcher]

Kent stuff looks best

never assume anything as a beekeeper, sorry, it's the one on the left, which I think tastes better, I gave some to a few judges for an off the record opinion and they reckoned 8 out of 10

Only 8, ratcatcher? Mine is always a 10 minimum.

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Didn't realise there was a number below 10

 

[ratcatcher]

I probably lost the -2 as it was not filtered and wrong size jar,

or perhaps you didnt give the judges enough?
