hi, fellows!
once I was told that ivy honey is totally unsuitable for overwintering bees because it crystallizes quickly so the bees are not able to consume it if they have no access to water during cold weather
on another occasion I was told that ivy honey flow is an excellent autumn bee forage
I have noted my bees are quite busy (and happy) with ivy flowers now,
but I have the dilemma: extract it or leave it?
does anybody have such an experience?
thanks in advance
