One of the best and most difficult to obtain honey in Australia is a
Victorian clover honey. I first tasted this light honey two years ago and
was impressed by its delicate perfume that lingers on the tongue. I've been
trying to find it again since, but without success.
 
I noted during a recent visit to the US that the most common honey on the
shelves was called 'clover'. I wonder if this marks a difference in the way
bees are distributed, or simply a difference of naming convention between
the two counties.
 
Does 'clover' refer to a specific bee realm, or is it a generic term, like
'ground flora'?
