Honey Colors

Here's a picture of some honey that was harvested at different times and places. The color is determined by the flowers that were visited by the bees when they gathered their nectar.

The honey on the far left was harvested in the spring in the state of New York. The next ones going from left to right are from our bees. The earlier honey is lighter in color and the honey on the farthest right was the most recent. Click on the picture to enlarge.
