Heather and ivy honey in the same frame

[Curly green finger's]

putting clearer boards on for the heather and one or two colony’s have ivy honey being capped on the out side of frames with heather in the middle has anyone ever extracted them together ? Can’t be the best tasting honey combo ?

Sounds like a very good combo! If this is for cut comb, sell it as a seasonal mix. If for bottling, get it off sharpish because ivy sets quickly in the comb.

I reckon soft set and matured for a year it would be great.

Clearers are on the ivy isn’t quite capped but it’s not shaking out the frame so I’m going to press it out tomorrow keeping the mixed frames separate.

Had plenty of ivy and heather combo before…. Normally when I’ve not had time to get the heather off…. It’s good

Yes that’s been my problem - how did you guess? I’ve been doing a few fairs and festivals I’m a week or two behind.
