<< We removed honey Aug. 1st and it is almost clear, extremely sweet and some find a slight minty taste.  It's beautiful, does anyone have an idea what the main
component might be? >>

We had hives in Manhattan and one year the Linden/Locust trees blossomed. Our hives produced a very clear, fruity tasting honey.

Prior to that we purchased some honey in Minnesota and I tasted a subtle, minty flavor. The beekeeper thought it was due to nearby Basswood trees.
