Colour varies by year and place; the value given is typical of the variety, not a measurement of one jar. Where a source describes the colour only in words (such as ‘light amber’), we convert it to the middle of the matching band of the Pfund scale, so the figure is approximate. The season follows the sources or, failing that, the flowering time of the plant in that area.

The University of Veterinary Sciences Brno honey atlas notes the coumarin scent of Czech clover honey – the compound familiar from freshly mown hay.
