HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Honey gets its color from the pollen that a hive gathers to make it. Because plants blossom at different times of year and bees collect honey nearly year-round, a single hive can produce radically different colors of honey from season to season.

Detailed explanation-2: -The colour, aroma and consistency of honey all depend upon which flowers the bees have been foraging. Forager honeybees are always female worker bees.

Detailed explanation-3: -The color and flavor of honeys differ depending on the nectar source (the blossoms) visited by the honey bees. In fact, there are more than 300 unique types of honey available in the United States, each originating from a different floral source.

Detailed explanation-4: -The value of quality of honey depends upon the pasturage, or the flowers available to the bees for nectar and pollen collection.
