Hi All
 
Interesting to see the thread on mango honey - I remember a while ago
a question about litchi honey - and whether it was possible to make
it.
 
Well, yesterday I was in Port Alfred (a little coastal town nearby my
town) and saw litchi honey on sale there in the local Spar
supermarket. It did not day it was imported, so I suspect it would be
from the Mpumalanga region (Old Northern Transvaal) which sits at
about 28 South. That region has high rainfall and high humidity.
 
I recall once seeing mango honey on sale - I suspect again this would
be a cultivar and climate specific honey - as with any flower some
years a bizarre plant can yield a powerful flow, others none.
Likewise with the litchi the possibility that the bees were straying
could not be ruled out.
 
Keep well
