honey?

raphaelS

Hi there,

I'd like to buy some good honey to a local (south Dublin, Wicklow...) beekeeper. I tried to contact these folks (http://www.irishbeekeeping.ie/) but didn't get any feedback yet...
they are probabily "beesy"! :rolleyes:

Any good address, local markets?

Thanks
Raphael

Try the market on a Saturday next to the IFC in templebar. I don't know if anyone sells honey there, but it's got to be worth a go. Our neighbour at home keeps bees, and occasionally gives my parents a comb of honey, and it's so delicious compared to the jars.

This is what I would like to buy, some good honey from a local beekeeper!

Way back when my dad was in the beekeeepers assoc, - they're not really that lively, more of a holding group for extractors and the like.

Somebody mentioned a Wicklow farmers market on boards not so long ago, but I don't remeber any details:(

But you are so right about fresh off the comb honey -mmmm

Whatever you do don't buy Bunalun 'organic' honey- I know someone who had it lab tested, not organic or even Irish! Actually E.U. banned Chinese honey. Chinese honey is banned in europe because they give the bees antibiotics. Mileeven organic honey is good, as is the Marks and Spencers honeycomb. M&S actually have a really good honey range.
