Pure OSR honey is very mild, but other plants do get in to it sometimes. I have had it with field bean and also sometimes horse chestnut as they are both good sources the bees will sometimes go on at the same time. Yes, everyone tastes things differently. To me heather is disinfectanty, but to others it is the ulitimate honey.
We had an interesting one a good few years ago, which was black. We are not sure if it was virginia creeper or oak honeydew or a combination. The man down the hill had almost black, with a very strong flavour. He got 1st prize at the honey show for dark honey with it. Ours, a bit further away, was very dark brown and slightly less strong, although it still tasted like strong cough mixture. As you say, each one will vary slightly. |
