No honey matches the selection.
Beekeepers measure honey colour on the Pfund scale in millimetres. Light honeys tend to be mild, dark ones stronger and often bitter.
Honeys differ by where bees collect the sweet liquid, how many plants it comes from, how it gets from the comb into the jar and which bees made it.
From flower nectar, or from honeydew – the sweet excretions of aphids and scale insects on trees.
Monofloral honey comes mainly from one plant, verified by pollen analysis. Multifloral honeys are named after the landscape.
Spun out in an extractor, pressed, drained, or sold right in the comb.
All honey crystallizes in time. Controlled stirring makes smooth creamed honey.
The western honey bee gives the most honey. Stingless bees make thinner, more acidic honey.
Some honeys hold EU protected designations of origin, like cheeses and wines.
Under the Codex Alimentarius standard and the EU Honey Directive, honey is only what bees make. Nothing may be added to it or removed from it.
