West Scotland Spring honey is the wild west of honeys!
A very complex honey due to the wide variety of nectar sources, that West Scotland honeybees forage on in Spring.
The consistancy, colour, taste and texture will differ wildly between batches. The only consistancy we can guarentee, is it'll taste amazing and is pure, raw and straight from the hive.
Our bees forage on a wide range of nectar sources during April and May, sicamore, horse chestnut, chestnut, hawthorn, blackthorn, and bluebells, just to name a few. We have several different sites and the weather pattern in each site, dictates the collection of nectar sources the bees use to create their honey.

Our West Scotland spring honey is harvested from our bees in June after the main spring flowering period (April - May).
The consistancy, colour, taste and texture will differ wildly between batches, due to the varied nectar sources between apiaries.
Its a unique tasting honey and each jar is different, great for spreading on toast or sweetening tea/coffee. At Glen Heather, spring honeys are our personal favourites.

Reviews
Since buying a few jars at a fair over a year ago we've been hooked - I order in Glen Heather honey in advance to make sure we never have to buy honey from anywhere else! It is the best honey I've tasted - only niggle is to try and limit myself.. the honey disappears very fast. I use it instead of sugar on yoghurt, in desserts and sauces, in herbal tea.. Simply delicious.
This is my first purchase of Glen Heather Honey and I chose their Spring Honey plus 2 Blossom Honeys. All 3 are del8cious, I have also had Gardenhall Honey given to me by my sister who lives in East Kilbride. It was after tasting this Honey I was completely hooked, I will never buy Supermarket Honey again.
The delivery of my Order was quick the Honey is exquisite.
This is, without a doubt, the best honey I've ever tasted!
I really would recommend buying a jar (or several haha!). It's beautifully floral and sweet, but not too sugary or overpowering. Goes really well in tea and in porridge.
Will be buying more honey from Glen Heather because it's amazing 😁❤️
We've tried at least four different honeys from Glen Heather and love them all. Special mention has to go to Scotch Bonnet, our favourite! We've also bought as gifts which have been very much appreciated by all!
I love this beautiful gently fragrant and mild honey. I have it every morning on my breakfast yogurt and it’s delicious. Much superior to any supermarket honey option, fresh and local. I would highly recommend
