    Very pretty. I wonder if this kind of heather where the nectar for heather honey comes from. Posted 4 years ago

      In the UK most will come from Ling, Calluna vulgaris because the cross-leaved heath and the bell heather cover very little moorland/hillside proportionately to it (don't know the figures) but I'd be surprised if Ling was less than 99% of heather moorland, Christine Posted 4 years ago
