Stedic
House Bee
Having missed most of my objectives for this year, but retained a sense of humour, I’m looking at my list again.
I would like to try to get a super of ivy honey if possible. What is the best way to do this? I presume I need to keep a strong colony and make sure they don’t need feeding so as not to contaminate the super.
Is ivy honey treated the same way as OSR? I.e, extract when it passes the shake test? Best as a soft set honey?
I’m keen to get something as one of the landowners gets terrible hayfever from ivy, so it would be a nice thing to offer her some.
