Eugene,

My 2 cents.

I have known blackberry to be an darker amber to dark honey.   The one on the far right could be blackberry or it could be wild yellow mustard.   Both are sweet.   It is confusing to a lot of people because they expect most spring or early honeys to be light or amber.    When they see a dark honey they think it is a bold strong honey like goldenrod or buckwheat.   The one on the left looks to be black locust type.  The middle looks to be a clover variety of honey (dutch white, or the yellow sweet or white sweet or alsike clovers).   If your bees worked an alfalfa field it could come out as the middle color as well, but you will know it if it is alfalfa.....  it tends to granulate/crystalize before the others.   Also, to me (just my sense of taste/smell), alfalfa honey tastes like the plant smells with it is cut.
