HOw To DIFFERENT VARIETIES AND TYPES OF HONEY

Honey Varieties
After I recently blogged about taking a BEE CLASS, and my desire to have our own hives, I've been doing lots of reading about bees and beekeeping and of course, the BENEFITS OF HONEY.  

During my reading, I found this interesting information about the varieties of honey, and how the color and flavor is affected by the main source of the bees' pollen.  As you can see, honey can be different shades and colors, and even have different flavors.
