Black Honey

[Hull Bees]

This year I got a super of the darkest honey I have ever seen. Going to be fun selling it I'm thinking it's probably honeydew but has anyone got any other suggestions what the bees were likely foraging on to make it?

Made me salivate - looks very inviting.
We had sweet chestnut one year that was extremely dark but that was more brown, does Honeydew have a red tinge to it?
Buckwheat can be very dark but again more brown than black.
Interesting weight detail on your label…….434g

probably honeydew

If the % is up to 70-80 you ought to consider labelling it as Honeydew as the Honey Regs specify. Honeydew can be blood red or old engine oil black and tastes of Fisherman's Friends and deep caramel.

Yes, the label weight is weird as that jar usually holds 454g, and it looks fairly well filled. What's your thinking, HB?
