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.

Scottish Spring Honey - 227g
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.
Here are some of the nectar sources, that make this honey so unique each time...

Reviews
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!
We found the site by accident a couple of years ago.
Now we are addicted.
