Honey by nectar source

Honeydew is separated from the floral options rather than treated as a kind of them, because honeydew honey does not come from nectar at all. It is chemically different — higher minerals, higher pH, oligosaccharides nectar honeys lack — and official standards separate the two by measurement.

4 groups · 263 honeys in the catalogue

Monofloral

210 honeys

Predominantly one plant, which is what makes a honey worth naming. The thresholds differ by country and by honey — some are pollen percentages, some are conductivity or sensory panels, and several countries set none at all.

Multifloral

38 honeys

Whatever was in flower. Wildflower and meadow honeys, which vary by place and by year in a way a monofloral does not — and are frequently better than their lack of a name suggests.

Honeydew

12 honeys

Not from flowers at all. Bees collect the sugary excretions of sap-feeding insects off leaves and needles, producing a honey with higher minerals, higher pH and oligosaccharides nectar honeys lack.
