Ron,
The honey you are speaking of may be from Japanese Knotweed AKA Japanese
Bamboo-an invasive and definitely unwanted weed.  I purchased some knotweek
honey when at a workshop in PA several years ago.  Knotweed is related to
buckwheat.  Hold the jar up to the light.  If the color is that of deep red
wine, it is probably knotweed.  I found the flavor to be very good.  The
plant blossoms late summer to frost.
