The best honey I have produced was identified as pure holly honey, very
light with great taste and wonderful floral fragrance that I have never seen
duplicated with other honeys produced here. Almost without fail, everyone who
has eaten it rates it equal to the best honey they have ever tried. Most
unusual was several supers of honey identified as kudzu, almost purple with
aftertaste of grape flavor notes. The bees also made an unusual honey in 2003 when
it rained nearly every day all spring. When it stopped raining at end of May
the bees gathered an extremely dark honey with a very sharp almost pungent
taste resembling molasses that they have never again produced and also has
never gone to sugar. I suspect it was honeydew. I like it, but most people
expecting the standard honey taste turn up their nose at this one.
