How do you like your honey best, or you don't eat it at all? If you do eat honey, what's your favourite one? I think my favourite is linden blossom one, but forest/swamp flower one is great too. They're my two favourite sorts of honey. I like to eat it best when it's fresh and put on a slice of white bread, then you leave the bread alone for a while and let the honey soak in. So great.

I enjoy the one that has a part of the hive inside the jar. Souix Bee is my favorite and about the only brand round these neck of the woods.
I grew up on Wescobee honey. They had this cute jar which looked like a beehive and we went through them like maniacs. I love honey with eggs. Whether its sunny side up, scrmabled or cooked with onions and green chillies, I dribble honey all over it. Oh yum! I also love honey with fresh hot bread or chapati. When its on a chapati (Indian flat bread) I also add cheese or butter.
Honey with eggs? You people are crazy. For me, it's simply butter spread over bread, with honey on top. Nothing more, nothing less.
Do you eat the hive too? I like it, but only as a small snack, and it has to be soaked in honey. What flower is Sioux Bee honey?
I don't know of any particular brand, we have honey shops here of different local honey makers. I just taste which are best before buying and buy that jar or pack. I don't buy honey in supermarkets.
Sue Bee Honey is filtered to remove all pollen to lessen its chances of granulation (sugaring). Aunt Sue's and Natural Pure honeys are strained rather than filtered in order to retain their natural complement of pollen as gathered by the bees. Pollen adds to the nutritional value of honey. During the production period, or spring and summer, a worker bee's average life span is six weeks. Worker bees are all female. Honeybees visit approximately two million flowers to make one pound of honey. A bee travels an average of 1600 round trips in order to produce one ounce of honey - as far as 6 miles per round trip. To produce 2 pounds of honey, bees travel a distance equal to 4 times around the earth. Bees from the same hive visit approximately 225,000 flowers per day - one bee usually visits between fifty and a thousand flowers per day, but sometimes up to several thousand. Approximately 8 pounds of honey is consumed by bees to produce 1 pound of beeswax. http://www.suebee.com/ I think they get most of their honey from bees that are in clover but I couldn't find that out on the link I provided.
well New Zealand has got a very good ecology for bees...those mountains are all full of variety of flowers. The taste feels natural, no sugar pieces in it...its smooth and firm.
I can assure you that you can get all natural honey in Latvia too. Oh, and honey made from a variety of flowers is nice, but there's something special in honeys which are made from just one kind of plant nectar.
