Honey taste and Flavors

Beautiful! Would love to do a taste test

Maybe flavour is important Like when you eat delicious fresh food - has more nutrients, etc. Also, in honey, less oxidation etc, leads to more flavour, and maybe more nutrients…?
Food for thought

nice question, i have nothing against food grade plastic, but when bees make there own wax and cap honey from timber frames taste 1000 times better than plastic, would you drink a beer out of plastic bottle.

In a more general way; we live in an area surrounded by Meyer lemon trees. They bloom twice a year. With the ability to extract the individual frames I am looking forward to perhaps having honey that is mostly “lemon” honey.

At other times of the year we have a ton of blooming Victorian box, which is very fragrant. I will be watching to see if we get much action with the bees on the trees. And if that fantastic fragrance translates in to scented honey.

My Father has a large mint bush right next to one of his hives. Every year we get a batch of honey with a strong mint flavour, which I love.

Having bees in the city will be interesting. I expect a great deal of variety most of the time since we do not have large plantings as might be found in large suburban yards or rural areas.

We have used wax and plastic frames and not noticed any difference in the flavour of the honey. I expect the flow frames will be neutral as well.

I can tell you about the wonderful benefits of lemon honey. Lemon honey is a delightful combination of two natural powerhouses: honey and lemon. Here’s how it can benefit you:

1. Boosts Immunity: Lemon honey is rich in vitamin C from lemon and natural enzymes from honey, which can help strengthen your immune system and fight off illnesses like colds and flu.
2. Soothes Sore Throats: The soothing properties of honey combined with the antibacterial effects of lemon make lemon honey an excellent remedy for soothing sore throats and coughs.
3. Aids Digestion: Lemon honey can aid digestion by stimulating the digestive system and relieving symptoms of indigestion and bloating. It’s particularly helpful when consumed with warm water in the morning.
4. Rich in Antioxidants: Both lemon and honey are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals and support overall health and wellbeing.
5. Promotes Healthy Skin: Lemon honey can be used topically on the skin to help cleanse and moisturize. Its antibacterial properties may also help in treating acne and promoting a clear complexion.
6. Natural Energy Booster: The natural sugars in honey combined with the refreshing taste of lemon can provide a quick energy boost when you’re feeling tired or lethargic.

Remember, while lemon honey offers many benefits, it’s essential to use it in moderation and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific health concerns or conditions.
