It's that time again. What's everyone brewing? It's May so depending on where you live there might be some interesting herbs available right about now.

How are things done there on the other side of the world? Do you move your bees to fields with these flowers

Rewarewa is a early bush/forest crop that we move the hives to, then they get moved off to Manuka

I'm making this, again from waste honey. I would'nt subject good honey to this treatment

I was just thinking of caramelizing very small fraction of honey for flavor this year out of curiosity, but with my small production it will have to be good honey probably, I'm not at scale where waste appears yet. Although there is a risk to suddenly inhetit an empire from my neighbor.
