A friend of mine has recently taken up beekeeping and he's given me a jar of honey from his first batch. It's absolutely delicious, blows all mass-produced honey I've ever had out of the water. Going to have to watch that I don't turn into Xi Jinping.

The uni's environmental sciences department has an apiary, and they sell pots of the honey it produces - I bought one last year. It's delicious, but you do have to reclassify most supermarket stuff as "honey-flavoured" afterwards.

My work has beehives in the garden; they started with two, back in 2014, but now there's a dozen at least. They sell the honey in a gift shop inside. I've never bought any before, but I'm starting to think I should give it a try.

My brother in law keeps bees and I enjoy their honey. As they are very local to where I live they also help with keeping my hay-fever under control during tree-pollen season.
