My Step Sis and her hubby have honey bees, well, they let a bee guy keep his bees on their property. He has been there for years and years, so when the land was sold to them they said of course he could continue to use it.
He gives them a big case of honey every year from the final harvest, I guess you call it, I don't know much (anything at all) about how bee keeping works.
As a Christmas present this year I got a big jar of that honey, so did my Brother.
I have never tasted raw honey before, never tasted wildflower honey in any form before. Clover honey, that's all I know, in squeeze bear form. One taste of the raw wildflower, I am spoiled forever!
My bro, not so thrilled because it is raw, I got his jar. YAY!!!
I have been trying and trying to capture just how pretty the jars are in a pic, who knew how hard it is to photograph honey! The lighter is there to show scale of the jars.
best I could do is this
It isn't clear, but isn't as dark as the pic. It's a lovely medium amber color, but it is cloudy, I was told this is because some pollen and other bee goodness is still in there. (that is what freaked my brother out, raw bee bits!!!!)
I am going on about this because it is discovering a new taste from an old favorite!
