I produced some honey that I would not give to anyone, let alone sell
it. I did this for years until I got some sites that produced the quality
that I wanted. I moved most of my hives to that site. This was many years ago
and each year since has produced a little different honey each time form that
site. I started to mark the frames that were capped each month with a marker
(the bees don't like the smell of a marker). Taking a sample of frames each
month to extract and see what the honey was like. Balancing that honey with the
bloom in the area the month before, I found the best for each site. I tried
to plant to get the better honey with little success. Some of the red honey
was only good for BBQ honey mix.
