Honey Floral Varietals

The color and flavor of honeys differ depending on the nectar source (the blossoms) visited by the honey bees. The color ranges from nearly colorless to dark brown, and the flavor varies from delectably mild to distinctively bold, depending on where the honey bees "buzzed."
As a general rule, the flavor of lighter colored honeys is milder, and the flavor of darker colored honeys is stronger. See a table of honey varietals and where they are produced:
