> Alfalfa can produce a reddish honey, especially dryland.
I find this very interesting.  It must be influenced by variety or soil 
conditions.  I've had the experience of producing a lot of nearly pure 
alfalfa honey over the years, in four distinct regions of our province 
and all I've seen is a water white honey, which will set very creamy.  I 
started my beekeeping in an area were the gophers packed a bag lunch in 
summer to go from hole to hole and I have never experienced this.

Thanks Dave for sharing this.

to water ski.
