The drought might have finally broken, but along our stretch of coast the rain came a little too late to save many of the blooms the bees depend on. Many of our loyal customers have come to know and enjoy the different varieties of honey that come from our coastal belt — each season and place leaving its own fingerprint in the jar.
Our latest batch carries a noticeably stronger multiflora aroma and flavour. The reason? Our hardworking bees spent quite a bit of time feeding on Euphorbia plants growing along the river systems between Kenton and Port Alfred. When forage is scarce, bees work with what nature offers — and this time it’s produced a honey with a bolder, more distinctive taste than usual.
At Honey Brothers we only produce raw honey — nothing heated, nothing irradiated — just honey the way the bees made it.
Because the drought hit our Kowie-area hives hard (and a few determined baboons didn’t help matters), we’ve started supporting a handful of smaller coastal producers as well. It helps keep local honey flowing while our own colonies rebuild.
The bees still need to feed. They still need to pollinate. And we’re still getting stung.
All so you can enjoy a proper spoonful of honey on your toast.
