Bochet
TIL proper name for that thing when someone new to the art is being told to “boil your honey really well or mead will spoil”!
How are things done there on the other side of the world? Do you move your bees to fields with these flowers, or is it just arbitrary seasonal labeling that does not really mean you are really collecting that flower dominantly?
Would you want to try my bee sensors that listen to the bees every hour?

Rewarewa is a early bush/forest crop that we move the hives to, then they get moved off to Manuka

I was just thinking of caramelizing very small fraction of honey for flavor this year out of curiosity, but with my small production it will have to be good honey probably, I’m not at scale where waste appears yet. Although there is a risk to suddenly inhetit an empire from my neighbor.
