They are talking about DARK HONEY, not honey dew!

From the FAO Agricultural Services Bulletin 124 of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations honey is defined as:

“Honey is the natural sweet substance produced by honeybees from the nectar
of blossoms or from secretions of living parts of plants or excretions of
plant sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which honeybees
collect, transform and combine with specific substances of their own, store
and leave in the honey comb to ripen and mature.”

Subsidiary Definitions and Designations:
“Blossom Honey or Nectar Honey is the honey which comes from nectaries of
flowers”
“Honeydew Honey is the honey which comes mainly from secretions of living
parts of plants or excretions of plant sucking insects on the living parts
of plants. Its colour varies from very light brown or greenish to dark
brown.”

Honeydew honey has a more complex arrangement of sugars than does nectar
honey because two sets of enzymes, those of the hemipterous insects and of
the honey bee, are involved. Honeydew honey also has a higher ash (mineral)
content than does floral honey. Because of its higher mineral content, it
may (I simply said may) actually be ‘better for you’ than floral honey.
