Just harvested honey this past week from my hives... taste was absolutely the best honey I've ever imagined. So much more floral and complex than anything store bought. Watched them fly back and forth from the lavender to the hives all last summer.

I recently had my first floral honey experience, it's amazing that I'd went this long without knowing that honey can taste flower-y! I'm considering raising chickens in the future --how difficult is beekeeping to get into, in your opinion?

Good for you, but how is this related to TFA?

  Because good sir, rather than being snotty and downvotey and the type of jerk who has utterly ruined HN, I chose to reveal myself as a fellow beekeeper in hopes that there might be fellow beekeepers here who would also want to share their stories. So, perhaps learn how to human and instead say something like "Wow, other HN human, I'd love to learn more. Have you ever noticed that different flowers or trees make a noticeable difference with your apiary? Have you experienced varoa? What's your thoughts on the various types of European bees, especially those that may have varoa resistance?" or any other number of hundreds of questions that might add to the dialog. Or continue to shitpost, I don't care - this is my throw away account because I got tired of responses like yours utterly devoid of curiosity and just here to shit on everyone else.

    I didn't vote on anything. I was uncertain if you were dispensing with a tangentially related personal anecdote or if I'd overlooked a more significant connection with the topic of what's unique and special about Georgian honey. I agree, HN is a very specific thing, with fairly strict rules and autistically narrow norms and protocols. I check out reddit or one of the chans when I want more open ended discussion. Live long and prosper, friend.
