My favourite honey - Thyme honey from southern Crete.

We obtained a strange but wonderful honey some 4/5 years back as follows
- We kept a hive in the garden as a sort of watchdog to protect our
fruit trees from marauding younsters The year was one when plums were
very prolific. We did not manage to pick many before they were attacked
by wasps - damaging the fruit and making approach to the trees upleasant
at best and downright dangerous at worst. The bees then made use of the
wasp damaged fruit and upon opening the hive we found the frames and
interior (wood) to be bright yellow and the whole smelt deliciously of
plums. The honey when extracted later was bright yellow with an amazing
plummy taste!

Cheers
