The IP address or range 44.223.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

[[File:Award-winning Honey (8089833566).jpg|thumb|[[Eucalyptus honey]]]]
((More citations needed|date=February 2021))
'''Monofloral honey''' is a type of [[honey]] which has a distinctive flavor or other attribute due to its being predominantly from the [[nectar]] of a single [[plant]] [[species]].<ref>"[http://www.bee-info.com/honigsorten.php Monofloral honey types] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070620094541/http://www.bee-info.com/honigsorten.php |date=2007-06-20 ))", Bee-info.com.  (in German)</ref> It is stored and labeled separately so as to command a premium price. While there may never be an absolute monofloral type, some honeys are relatively pure due to the prodigious nectar production of a particular species, such as [[citrus]] (orange blossom honey), or there may be little else in bloom at the time.

[[Beekeeper]]s learn the predominant nectar sources of their region, and often plan [[harvest]]s to keep especially fine ones separate.<ref>((cite news |title=Chancellor Woodson Talks Bees, Entrepreneurship with Bee Downtown Founder |url=https://news.ncsu.edu/2022/06/red-chair-chats-bee-downtown/ |work=NC State News |date=8 June 2022))</ref> For example, in the southern [[Appalachian Mountains|Appalachians]], [[sourwood]] honey, from a small tree that blooms late in the season, is highly regarded. Beekeepers try to remove the previously produced dark and strong flavored [[tulip tree|tulip poplar]] honey, just before the sourwood bloom, so it does not mix with the lighter sourwood. During sourwood bloom, there is little else for the [[honeybee|bees]] to [[Foraging|forage]].

| Acacia, a light and clear honey made from the blossoms of ''Robinia pseudoacacia'' (aka [[black locust]]/American acacia) has a mild delicate floral taste and is one of the most popular and sweetest honey varieties. It lasts as a liquid due to being high in fructose. It has a fairly low acid content, and is excellent for sweetening without altering the taste or the aroma of beverages.
|Ranges from light yellow to almost colorless.

|[[Alfalfa]] (''Medicago sativa'')
|North America 
|Alfalfa honey, produced extensively from the purple or blue blossoms (the most important honey plant in most of the western states) throughout the summer, is white or extra light amber in color with a fine flavor – a subtle spicy profile and mildly scented floral aroma. Not as sweet as most honey types, its delicate nature does not overpower other flavors.

It's somewhat fresh, pleasant "woody" scent is very good with teas like Earl Grey and works well in many recipes, e.g. for salad dressings and marinades.

|Buckwheat was an important crop in the US from about 1930 to the 1960s, which has since faded from use, and buckwheat honey has become scarce in the US. A wild buckwheat ''Polygonum cuspidatum'' that has become established in the US is naturally milder than the familiar buckwheat, and sometimes is used to blend with buckwheat, or sold separately as a monofloral called "bamboo."((cn|date=October 2016)) <br/>Not all buckwheat types produce a lot of nectar for bees.

|Carrot honey has a dark amber color with an aroma reminiscent of chocolate. The taste is strong with a bite to it – a sharp spike in an otherwise earthy, caramel flavor. There is also a "grassy" aftertaste, something close to meadow honey. This honey's taste is different from other honeys. It shines through when used in recipes. Carrot honey is obtained when carrot plants run to seed. This happens usually on specialist seed-breeding farms, or when bees collect nectar from wild carrots.

|[[Clover]]
|Canada, United States, Sweden and New Zealand.
|Clover honey is a variety of honey made by bees that are fed [[clover]].<ref>[http://encyc.org/wiki/Clover_honey Clover honey – Encyc]</ref> Depending on the location and source, clover honey varies in color from water white to different tones of amber. White clover in particular is grown as a widespread blooming pasture crop and is a major nectar source in many parts of the world. The nectar from clover contains a higher water content and a larger proportion of [[glucose]] relative to [[fructose]] than found in many other varieties.  As a result, clover honey tends to have a higher water content, which may permit it to crystallize more readily over time.  Crystallization of honey does not indicate spoilage, but tends to be aesthetically undesirable, so producers may alter their procedures to avoid the [[hygroscopic]] honey from absorbing more moisture from the atmosphere.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.americanpest.net/blog/post/dr-kathy-enters-the-honey-competition-at-the-frederick-county-fair|title=Dr. Kathy Enters the Honey Competition at the Frederick County Fair|publisher=American Pest))</ref>

Has a curious, distinctive and powerful smell, that has been described by some 'like caramel and milk is mixed into the honey', a spicy smell. Others suggest a faint licorice aroma. There is a peculiar discrepancy between the smell and its taste, and between [[Goldenrod#Diversity|varieties]]. The taste has been variously described as: 'a bit of a bite', 'a butterscotch-like flavor', 'similar to dandelion honey'.
