Do some people like basswood honey?  Personally it is the only honey I have ever tasted that I found repulsive.  I do not like mint flavor in general I guess unless it is very muted.  I find the mint flavored polish my dental hygienist uses to be as repulsive as basswood honey.  I also find it is not a good seller among my customers so I try to blend it off enough that you do not notice the mint taste.  Heating in a hot box at 100 deg F for a couple of days also seems to get rid of the mint taste fairly well.

I have several 50+ foot basswood trees on my property and lots more in the surrounding woods.  The last time we had a big bloom was seven or ten years back.  Most years there is so little bloom I am happy as the minor honey production does not contaminate the good tasting stuff.
