I have been offered a new apiary location on a private estate with good access, security etc and some good potential bee forage. However they have a large number of Laurel hedges many of which will be in front of the hives. I have some cherry Laurel hedges at home and have not had any issues with my honey that I can detect ( no bitter or unusual flavours)
I know this has been talked about before but I have never found any definitive answers. What I have noticed though is that my honey bees don’t seam interested in the flowering Laurel, maybe due to other higher value forage
What do you experts think?
