Hi Karen,

From what I have been told, the honey you have sounds
like basswood honey!  Basswood blooms once in seven
years.  Here in Ontario, there have been basswoods
blooming, but as other things bloomed as well, nothing
of the honey that came off the trees could be marketed
as such.  There was too much clover mixed in.  If it
is basswood, it is more worth your while to sell it
rather than eat it!!  It is worth quite a bit as one
only gets it every few years if that.

Enjoy it.
