It's probably some bacterial infection.

If you want some really great tasting honey, find some from the Central Valley of CA where they grow all those roses.

You will drool while you get the whipped butter and the warm, freshly baked bagels to put the honey on. And hot English Black tea with a dash of Limoncino del choistro in it. Bears have taste.

I grew up in northwest Iowa where we had "Sioux Bee" ("Sue Bee") honey from red clover.

and here in NW Florida, we get Tupelo honey from beekeepers along the Apalachicola River.

I read somewhere that eating honey produced in your locale helped strengthen your resistance to local things you may be a bit allergic to.

It sure seems to work that way and in the biblical sense, maybe the Lord set that in motion. It has always worked for my family.

I love Iowa honey, but I insist on local honey for my family, except for special recipes or whatever where it doesn't make any difference.
