M&M Honey
I read this story upon its appearance, and for some reason it recently returned to the forefront of my mind. It seems that someone would have subsequently produced this intentionally.
When I was in Sicily, I got to sample the light-green pistachio honey produced there.

When I was younger, I worked with a friend who was a "commercial" beekeeper. That involved travel, getting stung on a regular basis, moving hives from place to place for the blooming plants. When it came time for the harvest it was surprising how the color and taste of the honey depended on the plants in the area. The best was the honey gathered from the safflower fields and the worst was gathered from the heavy patches of "star thistle". In the end, it was all blended together so that the flavor evened out.

Sioux Honey Association Co-op (marketing as Sue Bee Honey) produces clover honey. I don't know the details, but it was my impression that farmers who were raising clover could make a little money on the side by allowing local (Sioux City, IA) beekeepers to put hives in their fields.
That's the honey I was raised on, and imnsho, it's still the best. My favorite comfort food is a PPH -- lightly toasted (and still warm) pumpernickel bread, creamy peanut butter, and honey.
