Very thin honey with weird flavor?

[harvey]

Hello all,   last week I did a quick inspection on my hives.  I removed one frame of honey form one hive that we becoming honey bound in the brood chamber.  My intent was to feed it back but as it was all capped I cut a four by four chunk out for me!   I crushed the comb to get the honey,  the honey was very very thin and when I ate it,  i swear it tasted like watermelon?   I have not fed these bees at all this year.  The main ingredient I would believe would have been thistle and buckwheat?   When the honey was poured on bread it just soaked right in,  didn't take a second?    I really hope if I get surplus honey this fall that it is from the goldenrod and a whole lot thicker than this.

Different types of nectar make for different consistencies and flavors in the honey. Also, the hotter is is, the thinner the honey will be. I noticed my honey was quite a bit thinner after being in the car one day this week.

buckwheat honey is dark and mine was very thick.  it has a fairly strong, but pleasant flavor.

Thanks Kathy thats what I thought on the buckwheat,  didn't have any of those qualities though.  I might have guessed it was fermented but as it was capped in the hive that wouldn't have made sense would it?   I accidently spilt some i the hive and ended up puting most of the comb on a log for them to steal back,  Will check in the morning and see if they were even interested in it?
