berry identification help

I have seen these berries in my field where i keep bees. Could anyone identify them for me?

 

I presume your talking about the small purplish blue berries? they are Sloe Berries which you make Slow Gin out of:thumb: Prunus spinosa or commonly known as Blackthorn

if you eat one raw it makes your mouth go all dry and sour:hehe:

But if you soak them in gin you can make an excellent alcoholic beverage!

 

Many thanks for your fast reply. I dont think i will be eating any of those then.

 

Don't pick sloes until after the first frost, or alternatively, pick them and pop them in the freezer for a bit.
