Honey Center Varietal Honey Library

Honey Center Varietal Honey Library is a tool to help honey educators and lovers understand what each floral source looks like and where it might be found in the United States, North America, or the world. It is far from complete – and because so many plants have been carried throughout the world, it may not be geographically consistent. It is the start of a massive project. Please make use of the information and the pictures.
