A beekeeper gave me a jar of Hypericum honey at the Florida State
Beekeepers meeting.  This is from Ecuador and the source is about 100 ha of
flowers apparently grown commercially known as St. John's Wort.  Given the
claims about St. John's Wort <http://www.hypericum.com/> a honey
predominantly from this source might be the source of a marketing coup or
not.  Another beekeeper told me he'd seen honey bees all over Hypericum,
but no honey.  Any ideas, experiences?
