Today I collected a large bee swarm from a fence in a suburban back yard. It was a large swarm and must have come from a large colony.

Hello All
Topic: The different tastes of Honey.
I came across a honey a couple of years ago that was very dark, almost blackish and had sight taste of dark plum and licorice. Would anyone know what produced this lovelly taste?
Thanks
Ron
Hi Ron, if that honey is the one I gave you a few years ago, I do remember where it came from. I know that I didn’t particularly like it because it was so dark and strong and you loved it. It came from a garden in Pakenham which actually had a lot of plum trees, but considering the bees fly so far, there are so many exotic species in suburban gardens that the honey could be a mixture of several different nectars
We have had honey from silver-leaf stringybark before, ( e. cephalocarpa I think), and this had a taste I thought of licorice cough medicine….I wasn’t a big fan, but my father thought it one of the best honeys he had ever had. Each to our own eh.
