Forest Honey (Honeydew Honey)
Forest honey, or honeydew honey, is produced from honeydew excreted by aphids and scale insects feeding on tree sap rather than from flower nectar. It is characterized by its darker color, stronger mineral flavor, and slower crystallization compared to blossom honey. Forest honey is particularly prized in German-speaking countries and commands premium prices.
