Actually, it sounds quite good - provided it is from a natural source.
I've started a new planting of Anise Hyssop and Mountain Mint - not much
this year, but both spread well (the mint has already sent out long runners
and
has only been in a few weeks). Perhaps next year I'll be able to tell
you if the honey is affected. And yes, we have LOTS of room -- might as well
grow mint in the fields, makes it smell good when we mow (about three times
a year).

For the past few weeks, my bees have been working mint blossoms. I've never
noticed a minty taste in the honey: Perhaps the fraction of mint nectar is
too minor to make a difference here, but where mint is really plentiful it
might become noticeable.
