When I lived in Israel, we harvested honey that came from bees which ONLY had access to Avocados - it was super thick, and totally BLACK - it looked like TAR.
There was an issue a while ago with bees making colored honey (blue red purple, etc.) Turns out they were getting the sugar from uncovered containers at the M&Ms plant down the road.

We get our honey from MyHoneysHoney. Local has helped my wife's allergies. We prefer to support local. And when you are in a bind, knowing your local can pay off. (Couple years ago after the really hard winter when hives were wiped out, they found honey for us to make our jam even though they were about out).
Was going to ask if anyone else had experience with local honey helping seasonal allergies. How long did your wife take honey to notice an improvement?

Read that a couple of weeks ago. I like honey and use it regularly. Lately, I have been buying Hunters Honey Farm products at Rural King. The Apple Works also carry Hunters products but they price them somewhat higher than RK. Hoping Hunters stuff is better than most.
As to allergies, I became allergic to the honey. But it was fun while it lasted.

So, how was the taste?
it was not nearly as sweet as clover honey, so those of you that find the taste of honey too sweet, would probably love it.
I have been seeing this and it is not a panic for me. Honey is something I put on biscuits occasionally. I do not follow the health food crowd and as someone said earlier, "Health Sugar?"
Your milk is pasteurized too, so...
The trick is to not heat it up too much. Too much heat will destroy the beneficial enzymes.I like honey, but don't use it quickly enough to keep it from solidifying (crystalizing). They say you can just heat it up to break down the crystals, but I've not had much luck with that. Maybe I've been getting the counterfeit stuff.
