Rich,
        Strong tasting honey is good for several things. Here is what I use it
for.
1)Make soda or beer or mead. Root beer with honey instead of sugar is
outstanding and you can use alot quick. Mead is better with strong honey
and at 10-16 lb. a batch, it goes quick.
2)Use it to make iced tea (nothing better than strong honey for tea)
3)Heat it at about 180+ F. for a while to caramelize it and darken it up
to use in place of maple syrup or as caramel on ice cream sundaes.
4)Heat it to 240 F. and keep stirring, cool it and drop a tablespoon a
at a time onto waxed paper and roll, place in the refrigerator. eat it
like taffy.
5) Sell/trade it to a baker.
At US$2.00/lb. retail, that's expensive bee food.
