Bee Fruity Blue Gum Honey
Blue Gum Honey is white (a special honey colour term) to light amber in colour with a lovely smooth dense texture. It has sweet aromas and flavours of fruity eucalypt. It is a favourite of our co-founder, Jodie Goldsworthy who lathers it on toast for a delicious breakfast. Slow to crystallise.
