Have you ever wondered why honey comes in so many different shades?  Fuzzy Pipkins with the Missouri Beekeepers Association says whether honey is light or darker depends on what nectar the bees have been gathering.  And, he says, that’s what gives honey its different flavors.  There are more than 300 types of honey in the United States.
