May I throw in my two-penny (or I guess two dimes) worth as you know my
address - Oaks Road.
In the field within yards of my garden is an English Oak which the
arboriculturist from the local council dated as 170 years old. Within sight
there are four others all of about the same age. In a good season I have had
neighbours tell me I have got a swarm in the tree nearest home, it really
does buzz, even I have searched hard to see if a feral colony lives in a
cavity within its trunk. But no, it is my colonies which are located nearby
that are collecting honeydew and this can be easily seen and felt on the
leaves.
I doubt whether I could market, 'Pure Oak Honey', as like all English honey
it is a 'little bit of this, and a little bit of that', which when put
together makes it the BEST IN THE WORLD.
