A beekeeping friedn and I have been moving our hives east to a nice acrage of goldenrod plants for the past 3 years. We have also seen some asters out there. Last year we had a very nice crop of very dark brown honey and this year we had a large crop of rather light amber honey. I was wondering about the floral source. I've read goldenrod honey color is light yellow-brown. Is aster honey dark brown? Could there be another nectar source? There is a strong 'goldenrod' smell in the air even quite some distance from the hives. Thanks, Long Island, NY -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
