Product Review

The connoisseur's choice made solely from the nectar from Scotland's heather that blooms in August. A distinctive light "smokey" flavor that characterizes heather honey in a class of its own. With 350 hives covering 100 square miles of Dumfries & Galloway, John Mellis is fast becoming known as one of Scotland's most successful bee farmers, with his honey in great demand for it's unique flavor. The distinctive flavor of his honey is down to the countryside the hives are positioned in, with trees, wild flowers and heather providing the nectar the bees need. The award winning blossom honeycomb is produced in spring, and its delightful flavor is the result of hawthorn and sycamore. John Mellis works hard at achieving such distinctive flavors in his honey, actually transporting hives throughout the season to the most interesting flower sources to save the bees making long flights in search of their precious nectar!
