Them bees been eating blue moon icecream??  :-D

How green is it?  We get somewhat green-tinged honey, sometime for us it would be the linden tree.  Is yours green-tinged or full-out grinch-green?

I dunno, is the wax green perhaps or is it green once extracted? Only way it can be green honey is if it is contaminated with something. Plaintain has green pollen at certain stages but I dont think any plant we have here would make green honey.

I have seen plants in Vic that have purple pollen that may turn the honey green.. ie the mixing of blue (blue and red) and golden (yellow and red)

But the truth is I have no clue

YV,

Are you any closer in figuring out why your honey is green? This is intriguing!

We have a green-tinged honey here in Florida from the Brazilian pepper.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Hi, nah, haven't figured it out yet. I'll know when I ask the other beekeepers in the area. If not someone will know at the meeting in a couple of weeks. I like the idea of Irish honey though :P.

Chao,
