 Lone Star Bee Company has been lucky to be a part of the University of Houston Farmers Market for the past two semesters. We just wrapped up the spring 2018 semester and it breaks my heart a little that we won’t be there again until classes resume in the fall. My favorite part of this market is, hands down, spending time getting to know the students, staff and faculty. I’ve made many new friends who share in the excitement of our infused honeys. But, one customer-friend really made this semester especially exciting. Eric Bittner, who’s a professor in the Department of Chemistry & Physics, took our infused honey to new levels. And boy, was his time well spent! As a hobbyist mazer, Professor Bittner made a spicy mead using our Fiery Sweet Mesquite honey and it was delicious! I have to say that initially, I was a bit hesitant that the heat from the habaneros would overpower the wine after a showdown between good and evil, but honestly the mead had a perfect balance of spicy-sweet. The sweetness of the mead hit the front palate and the spice of the habanero trailed from the back of the palate and down the throat. And, the aroma was icing on the cake; subtle pear and a slight piperine to tickle the nose. Fun! I’m not suggesting Professor Bittner quit his day job and open a meadery, but… This mead was exceptional! Thank you, Professor Bittner!
