what's your favorite honey to ferment?

So far mine has been tupelo. Of course, that can't be produced here in NY.

Of the locally produced, I like a late season wild flower. Before I started with beekeeping last year, I bought 5 gallon jugs from a local guy and it has made nice mead. I tried his clover once, but prefer the later stuff.

Last fall I had enough that I got a six gallon batch going from my own crop. Late season wild flower, but it was very light and floral. I still have yet to sample it.

Not enough this year to start another batch. Obviously, I need more bees.

wildflower makes the best fruit or strait mead, but try some sourwood with clove cinnamon and a couple of oranges, I make it every year for chistmas

For straight or traditional mead I also prefer the late wild flower crop. I tried buckwheat and orange blossom but really didn't care that much for them. Mind you I didn't throw them out though. ;)
