Looks like I am going to have to get a jar of sourwood to give a try!
When the lid goes back on, the bees will spend the next 3 days undoing most of what the beekeeper just did to them.

I?m not surprised Phillip as both trees only grow in the south west here in Aus. Marri or redgum is our main flow which generally occurs each year. High glucose levels makes it candy quickly unlike Jarrah which is predominantly fructose and is not such a consistent flowerer so is a rarer honey reflected by its price.
Both are thick dark caramelly sweet tasting honeys which have an added bonus with independent testing of Jarrah and Marri honey in New Zealand in 2016 found that it had stronger antimicrobial properties than the much prized Manuka honey.
The past season was poor with Jarrah not flowering and little to no Marri flowers although I still see Jarrah honey for sale at the markets..........

Very interesting, thank you for your description of this delicious sounding honey!
