Hello loyal MRH customers!
It took me awhile to get through the harvest this year. I actually took a little less honey this year than last — mainly due to some time/attention conflicts on my end. I also kept waiting for a break in the heat which took me way into September/October! Regardless, the bees seemed to make a reasonable amount of honey even with the season’s lack of rainfall and hot temps.
I have some very interesting DARK honey from some hive boxes (see photo). I don’t know what nectar resource this comes from — could be Black Locust trees (we have a lot around here). Dark honey often has a robust flavor that is almost molasses-like. It is said to be richer in antioxidants too. If you’d like to try it PLEASE REQUEST IT SPECIFICALLY after placing an order. Text me at 317-440-1655.
Mill Run Honey will be at Carmel Green Initiative’s Holiday Gift event at the Carmel Library on Thursday, November 30th from 1 to 7pm. We will have honey in various containers (many ideal for gifting) along with our beeswax lip balms, hand salves, candles, and similar products.
We would love to help you put together unique natural and local holiday gift items for your friends, family, teachers, co-workers and so on. Just drop us an email or text and we’ll make it happen!
Thanks,
Mac Williams
