Is there a detectable difference between honey from these species? Assuming they're working the same blooms, what if anything are they doing differently? (Isn't honey from scutella the same as that from mellifera?)

For that matter, if we could coax bumblebees into storing honey, would it be different from that stored by honeybees?
