Bee hive

[Simon G]

Yes marvellous work indeed!
and what a yield of honey!
You certainly have the Midas touch!

I read about archaolegists eating honey that was at least 2000 years old from a tomb in Egypt once.

Edit: Oh and tinned sardines are surprisingly long lived. There's a museum in Norway that has tins over a hundred years old and someone ate one not too long ago to prove how viable it is as a survival food.

Congrats on the honey, it looks and I'd imagine it smells delicious. I really like the idea of keeping bees but it has never crossed my mind until reading this thread.

One question, I know honey is one of the only things that never goes off, but does age have an effect that you know of? That would be interesting.

Hi Krist
im glad the post has been of interest , its my first year , im already planning hive no.2
raw honey will never go off , it may crystallise if kept in cool temps , putting in warm water will re liquefy , im told with age it may darken and lose flavour and aroma

That is outstanding and such dedication! My grandfather was a bee keeper and so was his... I don't have such an affinity, I've only ever been stung!

That honey looks the business, I can't wait until my colleagues is ready. Last year it was heather honey and it was really nice, I managed to scrounge half a jar from him, hopefully I'll get a full jar this year as I have given him a few sticks as well as a couple of bottles of home brew. Really looking forward to it.

Myself and a mate tasted it , we both considered it tasted like toffee apple !!!!!!

very smooth and a creamy finish on the palate

very more ish we thought , the finish was quite short and then you wanted to taste more

obviously i had no control of how it would taste , just with my location i hoped for something good

have to say im delighted with it

Looks and sounds delicious!!

labels on......

il have better labels next time , got these in a rush

just got hessian jar covers to make later

24 and 3/4 jars produced

left the bees with all the wild comb , some frames of honey not yet capped with wax and all the brood chamber , this will be more than enough to get them thro the Winter

had a fantastic day

Excellent job by all there
