A few weeks ago, I arrived at work to find this on my desk:
How cool is that?! Check out the honeycomb and everything:
My friend’s father acquired his own beehive a few months back and this is from their first honey harvest this year. I’m not sure of the exact stats but I think this is one of about 50 jars that was produced – that’s a lot of honey!
I’ve not yet attacked the honeycomb but the honey itself is very tasty and surprisingly, not too sweet. I’ve been taking teaspoonfuls of it! Lately, I’ve been mixing it with some lemon and hot water for a nice soothing drink for my sore throat.
Thank you for the lovely gift, Rachel!

Unfortunately, we don’t have citrus trees in this country. Because, if you put your hives in a citrus grove, the result is heavenly, especially at blossom time.
As a friend poited out, you can make a samdwich that both Winnie the Pooh and Paddington Bear would like. š

kat: Oh, I hadn’t thought of that! Then I am very lucky!
noobcook: Rachel designed the label herself! š
travelrat: I was also recently told of rosemary honey which is supposed to be quite lovely. Must keep a lookout for both!

[…] and when paired with some streaky bacon, became even better. Taking it all to another level was the honey I drizzled over them! I think maple syrup would be lovely too, the sweetness matching perfectly […]

Heather honey’s quite well spoken of, too. The citrus honeys I tried are a Sicilian specialty; I guess you’d find them in a shop that sells Italian food.
