Because we liked this honey so much we bought the whole batch, and therefore Laimonas the beekeeper has given a special price, which enables us to offer this honey at a cheaper price than our other organic honeys.
Standing in a Lithuanian wildflower meadow, is like stepping back to a time 70 years ago, in the UK, before industrial agriculture destroyed most of our rural landscapes. Here in Lithuania, the bees work the prolific wildflowers in idyllic meadows. In the case of this honey the meadow was next to the forest and there is a significant level of honeydew, which means this honey will crystallise slower than most Meadow Flower honeys. It also has a flavour that is quite different other most meadow flowers.

Where does the honey come from? Beekeeper Laimonas has his hives, in the wild northern forests and wildflower meadows of Lithuania in places which are untouched by the industrial agriculture that blights much of Europe.
Flavour: This is a bit different to previous years. The hives were in a wild flower meadow next to the forest and the bees collected quite a lot of honeydew from the Spruce trees growing in the forest. This gives it quite an unusual flavour, I detect slightly spicy notes, which I think comes from the Spruce. Also, hints of fennel and the taste of the syrupy liquid you get with stewed plums or other summer tree fruits.
Colour: Medium brown, not as light as most meadow flower honeys and not as dark as tree honeys.
Who produces the honey? Beekeeper Laimonas follows an ancient tradition of beekeeping handed down from his grandparents and his grandparents' grandparents. This heritage gives him a deep knowledge of bees and honey which enables him to produce very high quality honey from his bees in the northern forests and meadows.
Crystallisation:- Please know that raw honey does crystallise and is a natural process of raw honey (therefore we cannot except returns on honey that may have crystallised). We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but be aware this is to the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly. If you want your honey runny and it has crystallised it's very easy to return it to runny go to this link or see this section under our FAQ's
We only supply raw honey because we believe this is how all honey should be. If you don't want your honey to crystallise then raw honey probably isn't for you.
