No, I wasn't aware you could sell it back to Thornes! Looks like with all those workshop uses, I'll get some sales in here :-)

Joules:
An even MORE important use of your final product.  In this example the honey was sourced in Norfolk, I still have enough honey to make one more batch (I hope)



This is just coming up ready after 2yrs storage, it takes some patience to make and age.  Ignore the last dates on the demijohn as they got rubbed off the previous demijohn during the final racking and I ended up just adding the last date.  I will transfer it to bottles next month   :drool:   I learnt to make the stuff using the cheapest blended honey from the discount supermarkets, before using the best honey I could find.  Champagne yeast seems to give best results, though I have used bread yeast and got good results too.

If you are into mead then here's some great links:

Also go up one level to our Cider/Perry/Mead and wine threads.

We had about 20 entries into the Irish national HB championships.

I got a bronze for a Rose Hip Mead.

John Swift:

they say you learn something new every day

just watched part of a channel 4 program about icing sugar

and it showed a clip dusting bees with icing sugar to control varroa mites

the idea being as the bees cleaned each other the mites would lose their grip and fall off and land in the bottom of the hive
