Mark, in the northeastern part of the US what people refer to as "bamboo
honey" is honey with a main floral source of Japanese Knotwood, an invasive
species related to buckwheat. The honey is dark and similar to buckwheat honey
but not as strong. Is that what your friend ID'd the honey as? Was the ID
from a pollen sample or by taste?
