I just got through watching the "Secret Life of honey" episode.
Among other things they show the industrial creation of mead and go
into honey varieties. I bought a wide variety of honeys at Castlemark's
going-out-of-business sale at Pennsic. I think Castlemark might have
had a wider variety of honeys than the store which the show
highlighted.
They also mentioned in one of their text-only snippets just before a
commercial the comment that the bees native to America do not make
honey. We had a discussion earlier where I mentioned that the (honey)
bee was a European import and someone corrected me saying there were
native American bees. So it this TV comment is true then we may both
be right. If the American bee doesn't make honey though, I'm wondering
what it uses for food or whatever the European bees use honey for.
