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.
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.

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.
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.
3 honeys
Both at once, which is common in forest and mountain honeys where the two flows overlap.
