...”consuming raw honey from a single floral source may have significant benefits for cardiometabolic health.”

There is no such thing as honey from a single floral source.

No matter where you are, the bees are going to mix it up a bit and forage any nectar available.

What I always heard is that you want honey from your region i.e., maybe your own state or even county, as it is from local plants...and in addition to cardiac help it might help with allergies/inflammation/local immunity. Who knows?

“Single floral source”

My father kept bees along with farming in southeast Nebraska. He sold honey by mail during WWII. Sugar was rationed, but the government didn’t care about honey.

Probably early August smart weed would bloom in the fields which had produced wheat and/or oats and were not plowed yet. The fields were vast zones of pink flowers. In the hot dry summers nothing else was blooming that time of year. The bees would gather the necter and would store it. It was very dark and tasted so bad that hardly anyone would eat it. Dad left it mostly for the bees to overwinter on. However, there was/were one customer who special ordered the smart weed

I started getting honey from a local beekeeper and noticed I stopped having hay fever soon afterwards. Now it's a morning staple with some tea.
