Honeydew or Forest Honey

Honeydew or forest honeys are produced when bees collect sweet secretions (honeydew) from aphids and other insects feeding on trees and forest plants, rather than from floral nectar.
They are typically darker, richer in minerals, and often less sweet than blossom honeys, with resinous, malty, or balsamic notes.
