What is the best kind of honey?

HFCS, the only vegan honey

[Anonymous No.13236010]

>>13235964
Black locust, fireweed, avocado, carob seed, borage, macadamia and cherry blossom honeys are all great. Hard to pick one favourite when they're so different.

the kind from bees

My guess would be raw and unpasteurized.

Maple syrup perhaps

It's sugar tho.

[Anonymous No.13236040]

>>13236024
ok, that too, but HFCS is chemically almost the exact same mix as honey, I don't think maple syrup is as similar

There are no bad honeys, only bad prices.

[Anonymous No.13237644]

>>13235964
most cheap honeys are made by feeding the bees purely sugar syrup and not flowers. Production rate is maximised and many manufacturers further water down the syrup honey afterwards.

if you want actual flower honey you'd have to pay more.

Thick, natural honey that has crystallized so it gets a little crunchy and thick like in OP's picture.

>Buying honey
WHERE ARE MY BEEKEEPERS BROS AT?

[Anonymous No.13237918]

>>13237644
Wrong. The syrup is what the bees eat so they dont eat the honey. They do not turn the syrup into honey.

Anyone ever try any of those bourbon barrel aged honeys? I'm not big on honey, usually find it pretty overpowering, but I thought it sounded interesting.

>Buy a hive, frames, extractor? Where do I buy the bees and queen?
A beekeeper should be able to sell you a complete set, with a young queen and her hive but you're gonna need
- Several additional honey supers and frames : Choose the plastic kind. You won't need to manually build the wax frame, it won't rot, it's easy to clean AND you will get your honey out more easily. Don't listen to woodniggers.
- An uncapping tray : A manual one and a big knife will do just fine. Just run your knife along the frame to take off the wax as if you were "shaving" the frame
- A manual extractor : Unless you want 5 hives or more, you shouldn't need to buy an electric one.
- Plastic buckets with a tap : You can put up to 35 kilos in one, and the tap allows you to easily fill up honey jars. Don't forget some kind of filter for the wax waste.
>What species of bee works best?
I'm using Buckfast. They're productive, with a good temper, resistant to pests, and they survive the winter well enough. No idea if you can find them everywhere though.

I'm really just scratching the surface here and being ESL is hard, but ask more questions if you want.

It means it's great for allergies as the bees are making you a vaccine by making honey out of the same plants that give you allergies.

I've been interested ever since I saw Cody'sLab's gardening series.
However, it will be years before I get around to it.

[Anonymous No.13238664]

I dated a Turkish bitch who had family back in Turkey who owned an apiary. They sent honey. That was the best honey I'd ever had, even if it did have a dead bee in it.
I have no idea how the fuck they got it here. I would think it'd be illegal to mail that sort of thing.

[Anonymous No.13238859]

False. In addition to different sugar ratios, there are additional nutrients in it.

This guy has good information >>13238565 but also check to see if there's a bee association in your area. They're very cheap to join. Mine assigned me a mentor to help get me through any problems. They also have people who sell nukes (queen and a small population of workers and drones) so you don't have to have them shipped because if the colony dies in transit, they don't refund your money.

Also if you are using honey with a bunch of bullshit mixed in then I dont know what to tell you, you obviously dont want honey.

I don't know how the manuka honey from whole foods and amazon compare with your local manuka honey, but I don't really like the taste of the ones I've had. It's not bad, but the flavor is unique and I've had other honey I like a lot more.

I used to have a hive, but some new neighbors moved in and their dog chewed into it and got stung to death and they sued me.
They won because apparently two wooden fences, and a chain link enclosure wasn't enough of a precaution according to the court.

So after failing appeals I had to pay them 6 grand in "emotional damages" and I'm banned from keeping bees, and they take every opportunity to call the police on me when they see a bee in their yard, claiming I violated that ban.

The only reason ‘sugar bad’ is because it encourages tooth decay. Actually, the true culprit is the bastard bacterium S. mutans, NOT sugar per se. If this and similar vile bacteria didn’t exist in the mouth, eating sugar would be no issue here.

As for sugar and weight gain, yeah sure, I guess. Sugar is calorie dense and you can’t eat huge amounts of it before gaining weight. But if you can exert a little discipline, it’s really no big deal.
