Honey! What is the difference between light colored honey and dark honey? The specific flavor of each honey depends on the particular nectar the bees gather. When bees collect nectar from large growths of one certain blossom, the honey is labeled single-flower honey. Examples are clover, lavender, sunflower and star thistle. Most of the time bees gather nectar from a variety of sources, making multi-floral honey called wildflower.
Here are some examples of different types of honey:
White Color is from Clovers and Alfalfas
Very Light Amber Color is from Wildflowers
Light Amber Color is from Orange Blossoms
Plain Amber Color is from Buckwheats, Tupelos and Others
The darker the color of honey, the fuller the flavor. Remember not to give honey to children under 2 year of age as babies can become very ill from honey, even
a small amount.
