When you and I look at a flower, we probably can't tell how much nectar it has inside. But bees have a special kind of vision, called ultraviolet vision. This ultraviolet vision allows them to see which flowers have lots of nectar. That's a good thing because bees need to collect a lot of nectar. Different kinds of honey, made from the nectar of different kinds of flowers, can look very different.
Most honey comes in shades of gold and brown.
These two strange-colored honeys come from the sourwood tree in North Carolina. Different kinds of honey can also taste very different. Experiment with different kinds of honey to see which you like best. Different kinds of honey is probably due to having different kinds of flowers' nectar. Different plants and trees also have different amounts of health.
