Honey Production

India exported 45 million pounds of honey to the US in a single year. India doesn't have enough bees to produce 45 million pounds. The math doesn't work. It never has.

Buckwheat honey tastes like molasses. Orange blossom carries citrus notes. Tupelo never crystallizes. The nectar source matters, but so does soil composition, rainfall timing, temperature during bloom, and whether bees worked the flowers at dawn or noon. Honey isn't just honey.
