Bob,
Thank you for the distinction, this has been confusing for many of us
around here. We have much more of the bamboo around here and it produces a
pretty good honey crop some years. The honey from this plant, if the
diagnosis is correct, is a medium to dark amber depending on the year. Would
this be your diagnosis?
