First year beek here.
I added another honey super today and pulled a few honey frames from the one below to look at.
So far, I've only seen very light or yellowish honey this year. Today, there were a few cells that were literally pink.
Is there any plant that produces pink nectar? Or are they drinking something they shouldn't? I remember reading a story about bees getting into the vats at a Maraschino Cherry producer and making red honey...
I've also noticed some darker than usual nectar, but nothing that seems too out of the ordinary in the "honey spectrum"...
