Restrained
11 honeys
Honeys where bitterness or acidity competes with the sugar. The least sweet honeys there are, and the ones that surprise people most — several are savoury enough to belong beside cheese rather than on toast.
Honey by sweetness
Nearly all honey is 78-82% sugar by weight, so a sugar figure would be near-constant across the catalogue and tell you nothing. What varies is how sweet it TASTES — driven by the fructose share, which is markedly sweeter than glucose, and by whatever bitterness or acidity is competing with it. Chestnut honey is roughly as sugary as acacia and tastes far less sweet.

Moderately sweet
54 honeys
Sweet, but with enough else happening that sweetness is not the headline. Most honeydews and several of the herb honeys sit here.
Sweet
152 honeys
The broad middle of the catalogue, and what most people mean by the word honey.
Very sweet
43 honeys
Fructose-leaning honeys where sweetness dominates. Useful where a honey should sweeten without contributing a second opinion.
Intensely sweet
3 honeys
The far end. A very small group, and a spoonful is genuinely a lot — these are honeys to use sparingly rather than generously.
