I had put a couple of wet supers back on a couple of hives after extracting some Ivy honey. .
So Pete - what is your verdict on the honey? F N Howes maintains that - contrary to the belief on here - although the flower is a bit smelly the honey is 'greenish in colour with a pleasantly aromatic flavour'
I wouldnt describe it as greenish, its medium to dark, good flavour and a nice aftertaste. They certainly worked quick filling and capping the supers in 10 days including some none flying days, even then some had crystallised. They may have found something else to mix in with it but I couldnt say what.
I will save you a jar.
Why wont these damned wasps die!! Still trying to protect one hive which I considered strong, but they don't seem to be defending at all. About 6d here now, and wasps still abundant!! Wish I could find their nest.
