I had some darkest honey from bees eating Foxglove nectar and pollen. Was during a dry year so honey result was concentrated. Was the best!
yep
I keep the manuka honey in the medicine cabinet and all the other honey in the kitchen
My neighbor has about a half dozen hives, but he doesn’t grow very many flowers or fruits. That’s where we come in. Lot’s of clover in our lawn, lot’s of wildflowers on the edges of the lawn and woods, and my wife grows more flowers than she can keep up with sometimes, I do the veggies and fruits. So my neighbor’s (Bogey) bees visit our yard and have a smorgasbord every day, he gives me honey, I give him fruits and veggies that the bees have pollinated. It’s a win, win.
You have a good trade going on. Where his honey bees are eating mostly from flowers etc on your land............ I have a few fruit trees too.
Yes, we are lucky. Bogey has been our good neighbor for 3 years now. Previous neighbor was a scumbag. Nice to have good neighbors.
Yep- I had read that it works when other methods failed. Gotta make sure that the Manuka is sterile though as I think some can be bought that isn’t.
Yeah, I have thought about the sterility issue, although being such a potent antibacterial I wonder if that’s a genuine concern.
Yeah I’m not sure- being that it is applied to open sores, it might be an issue, but like you say, it is so potent that I would think the bacteria could not survive in it in the tube, but who knows?
Expensive? Like my wife said "So is chemo."
