Dandelion Honey

[JennyLynnLuv]

So today's randomness included me trying to make dandelion honey for the first time! I've changed the recipe I was following a bit and it's still simmering down and should hopefully thicken more as it cools.. I'll post an update in the replies later! Any experience making your own honey?? Gotta love the homestead lifestyle!

Any experience making your own honey

We "hired" some bees this spring to do it for us.

I'm interested in in how to do this. Dandelion season is long over for us, but we get a lot of them in the spring.

It's out of season here too so I'll admit I'm using organic dandelion tea to supplement!

Cooling down now! Repurposing/recycling some of my spice jars INCREDIBLEY hot to the touch still but the viscosity does seem to be there! Glad that I doubled the lemon from the recipe. I used whole dandelion tea not just the petals so there's a bitterness there the lemon helps cut.

Edit: it's great! Definitely thick when cool!

I didn’t know it was possible to make honey with dandelions
I’ll have to try it out sometime.

Definitely worth a try!! Took a couple hours but I got a decent bit of honey from the recipe and my mom loved her little jar!

Do you mean next spring, or just getting the "woodware" (hive) now and the bees next spring?
