I am not sure how much of this stuff y'all want to know about, but ...

> Elements typical for coniferous honeydew were observed under microscope. In samples of the honey sediment, there were different kinds of honeydew elements. Microalgae - usually species of green algae (Chlorophyceae), and fungi spores were found. Sooty moulds (Fungi imperfecti), sometimes visible as dark brown or black coats on leafs, needles, and bark are typical for honeydew honeys. -- Rybak-Chmielewska, H., Szczęsna, T., Waś, E., Jaśkiewicz, K., & Teper, D. (2013). Characteristics of Polish unifloral honeys IV. Honeydew honey, mainly Abies Alba L. Journal of Apicultural Science, 57(1), 51-59.


Personally, I am fascinated by this honeydew, I ordered 4 types from different countries. I don't know how authentic it's liable to be, but it should be interesting to try them out.
