    Newbie attempting raspberry melomel with raw honey

    Autumn honey means honey the bees made from autumn flowers. Ususally means a darker honey than say clover or basswood honey which is lighter in colour and taste. Let us know how it turns out

    So my neighbor is selling honey!!

    Beekeepers often end up with some higher moisture honey than cannt be sold or stored (it will ferrment on its own)at the end of the season when the bees have run out of time to dry it down before winter. It is perfect to make mead with. It would be worth asking if they have any.
