George, They are talking about DARK HONEY, not honey dew! Much has been said about the almost black buckwheat honey, which I sell, but don't care for myself. My personal favorite honey is a DARK honey with a red caste in the sunlight - tulip poplar. I my experience, the great majority of beekeepers prefer the darker honeys for their eating, while casual honey eaters usually want a light honey like clover or black locust, something that is just 'sweet" without a lot of honey flavor.
