Crikey, I wouldn't fancy being the honey judge - or maybe there were several classes of runny honey - difficult to tell. They didn't seem to have any set honey.

There are a number of white honeys produced in NA. If I had to guess I would say Black Locust.
A tree that blooms early June. I haven't made much of that honey here, as it always rains the week it blooms.

There was a fair bit of set honey there. Probably around 10% compared to runny.

There was also a pressurised honey creamer called creamPAL. A snip at $33000. I want one! Made the smoothest honey I have ever tasted. The consistency of yoghurt!
