Darker honey can also be produced when your bees feed on honeydew (the sugary waste product
from phloem feeding insects) Depending where you are in the world this honey is produced at different
times of the year. It is a late summer-fall honey where I live in FL. This honey is a prized honey
in many countries for its high anti-microbial characteristics and characteristic flavor.
It is not very well liked where I live though.
