Well Dave,heres my 2 cents worth........
The undisputed king of honeys (at least for me,here in Va.) is Sourwood.
I agree there are many questionable "pedigrees" of it out there, but the
real McCoy is THE best.
Apple blossom run a close second. I got almost a whole super last year
that the bees overlooked. It was heaven! I hoard it like a miser.
Tupelo is'nt native here but I've had it and like it very well also.
The tulip poplar is the main honeyflow here and I must agree that it
is'nt anything to write home about.Still its better than the absolute
worst honey.......Store bought so-called "pure clover honey" if there was
a generic taste in honey, this is it.Those who have never tasted any
other are shocked to find so many different tastes.
I think you have a very worthwhile endevour here, so many people think
honey only comes in the one flavor,store bought.This is a project worth
all of us considering on a limited basis in our areas.I know the honey
exhibit at the Va. state fair has tasting varieties and the booth is
always mobbed.
