The honey extracted this past week was noticeably darker than years past. From what I can see when I drive thru the area where the bees gather the nectar and pollen nothing has changed in the fields. The air in Montana has for the most of the summer been very thick with smoke. Hazardous for breathing at times. Same crops, etc. The darker honey has been noticed by several other beekeepers as well. Hobbyist we are or side liners at the biggest. Any thoughts would be great.
