Only a beekeeper would know the name. Have you brewed this? Sounds like a great light summer beer.

This brew is very good but more wheat'y than I planned on (needs a lemon or orange), and I believe I'll change the flavor hop on the next go around. This recipe is a keeper and is excelent served with lemon or orange. Great summer / early fall beer.

I'm not a bee keeper, but I do enjoy coming up with names for my beers as much as I like brewing and drinking them :)
