Is there any manuka in our honey?
No
Our honey comes from just one place; our hives positioned in our manuka meadows on our farm. But this does not mean that our bees are putting our manuka into our honey.
We are absolutely experimenting to see if we can produce manuka honey from our Dorset manuka meadows but we haven’t managed it yet.
We have seen some bees foraging on our manuka blossom but so far it seems that we have been unable to tempt them away from the native wildflowers and blossoms that they know and love.
Manuka honey has very distinct colour, flavour, thixotropic and chemical characteristics which differentiate it from traditional English honeys. We have seen absolutely no evidence of manuka in our hives yet, believe us we’ve checked!
We would love to produce Dorset’s first genuine manuka honey and will keep trying. As we add more manuka trees and they continue to mature we might start seeing those magical first cells of manuka honey in our hives. Maybe …..
