Monofloral Varietals of Honey

In this presentation I review 80+ monofloral varietals of honey*
I explain the difference between polyfloral (wildflower) and monofloral honeys, what beekeepers do to encourage the production of a monofloral honey, and how do we determine that a honey is indeed monofloral.
Then, I discuss each honey including the plant which the nectar came from to make that honey, what the honey looks and tastes like, and other general information regarding the floral source and the honey itself.
*Monofloral honey = honey produced from primarily a single nectar source
