Among similar flavors are smoky, molasses, burnt sugar, and brown sugar. I’m sorry, but I don’t know the nectar source of smoky barbecue sauce flavored honey.

Milo doesn’t produce nectar, so I suspect that your dark, strong flavored honey came from another source. Maybe there was a buckwheat field in your bees’ flight area.<br />--Richard<br />Richard Underhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014016516339819639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712110501673732079.post-7136961310580264272018-03-21T20:15:24.712-05:002018-03-21T20:15:24.712-05:00We raised bees and crops when I was a child, I use...We raised bees and crops when I was a child, I used to watch the huge amount of bees flying to and from the milo fields. The milo at the end of the field by the bees were full heads loaded with seeds but the head size dwindled the farther you got from the bees. The honey from those bees was very dark with a strong flavor (best honey ever) every year we planted milo but never with any other crop.Silverwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458948416064003444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712110501673732079.post-61131935442940864142016-01-16T17:01:08.548-06:002016-01-16T17:01:08.548-06:00Frances,
