Scottish Honey

Scottish Honey Producing only the highest quality SCOTTISH HONEY Good honey is like a good wine: it should be a mosaic of fantastic, hard to describe, flavours.

It should be different in texture and appearance depending on where and when it was harvested. Set our Heather, Blossom or Clover honeys on a table and taste them all and you’ll be shocked by the wide range of flavours and characteristics they present. With honey and many other foods, what is treated most simply-least-is best; albeit the simple approach to food and drink often requires the most kn

owledge and discrimination from the producer. Thats why John Anderson has dedicated the last 30 years mastering the art of producing only the highest quality Scottish honey. Based in the agricultural town of Turriff in North East Scotland we are ideally situated to harvest the natural goodness that the rich fertile land produces. The flowering plants and trees that are on the country estates to the heather moors in the Scottish Highlands our bees are well catered for. Anderson’s also specialise in a variety of scottish jams, marmalades, curds and jellies which are made using the traditional ‘open pan’ method of jam-making which gives all our preserves their delicious ‘homemade’ taste. Scottish fruit is exclusively used for all our strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, rhubarb and redcurrant products as we believe that ingredients of this quality create the finest preserves, particularly when manufactured in the traditional open pans. www.scottishhoney.com – Setting the Heather alight!!!

Here you have four drones (male bees) emerging from their honeycomb cells as young adult bees. Can you see varroa mites on one of the bees? They are small, red, crab like parasites that complete their own growth on the developing bees in the honeycomb cells - weakening them, causing deformities and shortening their lives. These mites prefer drone cells because, as drones take longer to grow into adults than worker bees or queens, the mites have a longer time to complete their own development in the honeycomb cell.

Some lovely cut comb Summer Blossom honey.

If only it was the right nectar... The bees are fed up with this weather as much as we are.

Just as bees fly outside to defecate in order to avoid fouling the hive, sick or aged bees use their last bit of energy to fly out to die. Hive Mentality.

The bees are home to their winter site and are currently being fed sugar syrup to keep them going through the winter.

Not long back from Rhodes in Greece where we visited a bee museum. I will get some pictures up once I have a minute.

The heather honey has not been flowing into the hives with the mixed weather we have been having. Hope it settles and heats up a bit.
