[QUOTE="tudorcd, post: 8492, member: 19"] A few years ago I had some hives on a lavender farm over the road from Islington, an old big house with linden trees. One year they gave good nectar for a small crop of linden honey (50 Kg) - Dave Black gave me an opinion on it - and some German tourists confirmed it was the real stuff. It was very good, and I made some ice cream with it. It did not last long but I reluctantly moved away from that apiary. Apparently linden trees can not be relied on. I have a good lime tree here down the Otago Peninsula, and it just contributes to the good flavour of the honey of the 5 hives here. Really hums when in flower. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
