Not all Honey tastes the same or is even the same color. Honey reflects the colors and flavors from the nectar of the flowers visited by bees. There are more than 300 flavors of Honey in the United States. As a rule, the taste of light-colored Honey is milder and darker-colored Honey is more robust. Besides being a natural sweetener, Honey has benefits such as soothing a sore throat and a natural energy booster.
Honey is collected from wild bee colonies or domesticated beehives. On average, a hive will produce about 65 lbs. of Honey per year.
As a reminder, do not introduce Honey to children younger than one; there can be a risk of infant botulism. https://www.honey.com; https://www.honey.com/about-honey/honey-benefits
