Varieties of flower honey
In beehives, most often bees mix nectar of different plants during its processing and folding into honeycombs. Obtain honey from the nectar of a single plant (monoflern honey) only if hives with bees (40-60 families) are placed near a field with a large number (not less than 80-100 hectares) of a plant blooming simultaneously, capable of its nectar attract all (or most) of the bees. If previously removed from the hives all the previously collected honey, you can get a certain grade of honey with its characteristic features. Varieties of honey are important for bees, especially when they are supplied with fodder supplies for the winter.
In beekeeping, the following types of honey are most often found and are of greatest importance.
Linden honey in a liquid state is colorless or slightly yellowish, transparent. After crystallization, it turns into a yellowish or light amber mass of a dense, salty (fine-grained) consistency. There is also coarse-grained crystallization (depending on the type of lime and storage conditions). The taste is quite spicy, very sweet. Honey has a delicate aroma of linden flowers.
Buckwheat honey has a color from dark yellow to dark brown. It crystallizes into a fine-grained dense mass of light brown or dark yellow color. Has a strong, sharp, sharp taste, from which pershit in the throat, and a pleasant aroma. Easily different to taste from all other honey.

Heather honey has a color from light brown to reddish-brown. Very viscous. It crystallizes slowly into a dark mass with a reddish hue, often remaining in the state of jelly or jelly. The taste is slightly bitter, tart, the aroma is strong, grassy-meadow. Because of rapid crystallization is not suitable for wintering bees.

It has an aftertaste, typical for the juice of the plant itself, which, as storage, completely disappears. Often it crystallizes in the honeycomb.
Clover honey has two types: red- Clover – reddish-yellow color, comparatively slowly crystallizes; with white clover – light, fragrant, sometimes slightly more viscous, pleasant to look, has a delicate taste, crystallizes into a fine-grained white mass.
