Buckwheat honey is dark like molasses and tastes a lot like it.Been thinking of doing something like that.
Also.......
I planted some buckwheat (kinda late) this year to use as a cover crop and to help the soil.
I hope to harvest (without a combine) as much as I can.
Want to try and use some for chicken feed and to replant some next year.
It is too late for this year, (the buckwheat is seeding out), but I was thinking of setting up a hive body next to the blooming buckwheat and see what happened.
Buckwheat is amazing with bee life when it is in full bloom! The field just hums with a bzzzzz!
