I'll confine my thoughts to the honeys of Maryland.
 
When someone asks me what the best honey is, I answer "What are you going to
use it for?  If you want a strong honey taste, use Tulip Poplar.   If you
want a light honey taste, use Locust."
 
About the only Maryland honey I don't care for is Buckwheat (far too strong).
  However, of all the honeys known, my pick for worst honey would be Mountain
Laurel.  It's poisonous to humans.
