I am looking for information on plants with nectars that produce a poor
quality, bad tasting honey.  An example would be something like privet
(Ligustrum) which produces a dark, bitter honey. I am particularly
interested in plants found in the eastern part of North America.  I have
checked both Pellet's book on American Honey Plants and Eva Crane's book on
Honey, but would appreciate any additional information.  Thank you for any
help you can offer.
