I don't know how this was made but I met some beekeepers that were producing
a flavored honey product.  They call it a honey product because it is not
produced form nectar but flavored syrup and or fruit juices fed to the bees
when there is no honey flow.   I tried using fruit juices but they fermented
before they were completely used by the bees.  I have heard of some using
Kool Aid and making a syrup which the bees will consume.  I am told that
this produces a very good product but they are being careful to call this a
honey product since it is not true honey.
