Mark, in the northeastern part of the US what people refer to as "bamboo  
honey" is honey with a main floral source of Japanese Knotwood, an invasive  
species related to buckwheat.  The honey is dark and similar to  buckwheat honey 
but not as strong.  Is that what your friend ID'd the honey  as?  Was the ID 
from a pollen sample or by taste?
