Is it just me or does it seem like that honey is glowing?

Congradulations on your honey. :)

That really is light.

Did you feed your bees a bunch of sugar water right before extraction :P

I just pulled a whole super of some honey that is about that light. I'm also from Michigan and was wondering what flora it came from. I guessed it was either from the soy bean crop next to the hives - or maybe basswood blossoms? - I actually had three hives located on the same property that produced that nice light color. My hive here at my house was a lot darker. It is nice though to have the two bears side by side - one light and one dark... now maybe I can get an even darker crop from the Goldenrod / Buckwheat flow.

It looks like fireweed honey.
