>>Argentina produces a lot that is ELA or Amber.  Many 
beekeepers that we have talked to from Argentina are saying they have been 
getting 80mm honey this year.

Yes, ELA and Amber is typically collected from the Argentine crops, reason 
being primarily Soybean crops grown there.  Soybeans being the crop of 
choice because it requires so little input to grow the crop, and prices 
well in the world.

But 80mm seem a little dark to be collected from soybean.  
Can you get 80mm from soybean?  
Perhaps the 80mm is being influenced more from the wild flowers, than 
collected from crop due to the dry conditions?
