Clover, orange blossom, or wild flower honey...what's the difference?

I know it's the flower that the bee pollinates...but is there any taste difference? honey is honey, no?


Just curious. Been drinking a lot of tea w/ honey lately and noticed these 3 honeys in the supermarket. Tried the wildflower and noticed no difference.

There's a big difference. Try comparing clover honey, which is quite mild, with mesquite or buckwheat, which have stronger flavors. Tea masks the differences so, if this is the only way you use honey, you may as well go for the cheapest (clover). If you ever brew mead, the differences become significant and it may pay to spend more to get the darker and more flavorful honeys.
Reply:The difference is in the flavor. Try adding honey to cereal (with milk) and you will notice the differnce.
