🍯 Late Summer & Autumn Honey 🍯
Honey harvested in late summer and autumn is always something special. With nectar from heather, ivy and other late-season forage, it develops a wonderfully distinctive flavour, with rich and interesting floral notes that you simply don’t get at other times of the year. 🌿🐝
But this honey comes with its challenges! It’s often much thicker and more gel-like, and ivy honey in particular can crystallise very quickly. This means harvesting requires different techniques and a little more patience to coax the honey from the comb.
So, it’s slow going here at Killucan Honey Farm for the next few weeks as we work through this beautiful late-season honey — but it’ll be worth the wait! 🍯🐝
