Like rosemary flowers, yes.

>>21774001
Yeah. That's what I thought.

Don't make me tap the sign! No it won't, there isn't enough nectar to be collected from bushes such as rosemary thyme etc, thyme rosemary honey is a grecoturkish scam not unlike Chinese fake honey, the bees are fed mainly sugar water so the final product is as unhealthy as other inverted sugars such as corn and glucose syrup

>>21774047
Hypothetically, of you had a large rosemary farm and a few beer hives, the bees could collect enough to provide pollen to the hive?

>>21774050
Yes but only hypothetically, in reality that can only happen with pine trees which are truly enough, and even then it's because the nectar is collected by bees from the secretions of pine tree larvae and not straight from the wrinkly pollinated flowers

>>21773995
Unless you have a somellier level taste buds you won't be able to tell the difference. There's also not enough flowers in a rosemary plant for bees to only go to them. The only difference the flower makes is whether it's a normal flower or a psychoactive flower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_honey

>>21773995
In the Wolf Hall series it mentions an Abbey in the Midlands where they keep bees and they feed on thyme to give the honey and thyme scent.
>>21774050
They’re talking rubbish about Rosemary and pollen, Rosmarinus officinalis is known to be pollen rich and attractive to bees.

>>21774214
its a scam!!!! of course bees will go to rosemary and thyme and bushes in general but they wont just go there, and if you restrict them like crooks do in greece and turkiye to produce thyme honey there will be enough pollen but not enough nectar which is the important thing to make honey that tastes like the stuff the nectar comes from , so what they always do is feed the bees sugar water which makes honey equally as unhealthy as sugar

you are spouting total shit. Thyme and rosemary is rich in nectar and pollen. We aren't talking about big business commercial honey.
>they wont just go there
yes they will because its the scent of the nectar that attracts them rather than the pollen, and both are known for being very attractive to bees.

>>21774260
you ll get better results just by throwing a bunch of dry thyme or rosemary in your honey... you are so full of shit, small producers are even worse than large companies because noone does quality controls of their products (unless of course you are an elonite trumptard retard outside the EU where noone quality controls large producers either) so they pumb bees full of antibiotics and sugar water

>citrus trees?
>honeywhistle
>wild roses
>pine tree melitoma?
NOOOOO ITS THYME AND ROSEMARY THAT BEES WANTS im very smart and i also vote for trump and elon

Bees don't want just herb plants, they need a large array of things including wildflowers

>>21774329
they just want to keep their delusions alive and keep overpaying for their "thyme" "rosemary" scented """"artisanal""""" crap from greece turkey and spain, thinking its good honey because it vaguely smells of herbs, even though its actually close in quality to the chinese fake honey syrup...there is a way to do good bush honey and that is (and actually how honey was made for kings and royalty in the past) allowing the bees to feast on melitoma or nectar rich trees like orange lemon etc or pine trees and then move them to a place where rosemary and thyme is and the honey will be good in quality and smell of thyme and rosemary but noone is willing to do that because its not cost effective, noone will leave the honey unharvested for that long. its a prisoner's dillema you leave the bees in a place where only bushes are, the bees will starve and you ll have to feed them sugar water, you leave them in place where citrus trees, wildflowers etc are and also lots of bushes the main bulk of the bees will elect to go to the nectar rich plants instead of the thyme and rosemary bushes so it wont smell of either thyme or rosemary because the nectar and pollen collected from those plants isnt neutral scented like sugarwater

>>21773995
>If bees collect pollen almost exclusively from rosemary trees, will the honey taste like rosemary?
Likely, though I've never seen "Rosemary Honey" for sale at a market.
My favorite honey in the whole world is "lychee" honey, which I have been able to source online whenever I run out. It ships from thailand. Locally, at farmer's markets, I get small portions of avocado honey which is delicious on top of cheese. You can taste the buttery avocado. Bees can get into icky flavors, like florida holly which taints the entire batch like a weed, so stay away from "neutral" sounding versions like "wildflower honey" or simply "raw", so really you need an entire orchard of beehives to make sure the flavors stays one thing. Tangerine honey, honeyball honey, grapefruit honey, or entire fields of clover. A recent trend in Florida is "sea grape honey" which I think has a neglible flavor, honestly.

My girlfriend eats a lot of cinnamon, and her squirt tastes like cinnamon.

>>21774650
only 1% of women can squirt why would you lie like that ??

>>21773995
my guess is yes

>>21774654
skill issue

>>21774050
How often and how long do rosemary bushes flower? I'm guessing maybe a couple of weeks out of the whole year. So you'd have to put in new frames just before the flowering season and take them out as soon as the flowering season was done.

>>21774059
There's many more varieties of monofloral honey than just pine honey

>>21774915
Canola honey is a big one (due to industrial cultivation), and it's super easy to distinguish from other varieties, because it has the color and consistency of lard.

>>21773995
honey isn't made from pollen moron.

>>21774915
yes i used pine as an example because it has a non floral non citrus scent same as thyme rosemary etc

>>21773995
Sure

>>21773995
yes it will
bees and plants are awesome

>>21774050
>and a few beer hives
hmmm...
