Anyone know whether the above is a dark or light nectar/ honey?

Privet started here about a week ago and the bees are bringing it in like gangbusters. Going to have to extract soon, I'm almost out of supers and frames! (Or order more frames and foundation!)

What I got last year after the privet was finished was light and fairly thin. We had a yellow flower blooming the same time so I'm not sure how much was privet. The yellow flowering plant grows in damp places and you sometimes see whole fields of it. It finishes blooming after the privet is gone here.

I've already extracted once and put them right back on the hives.........they had capped to about 95% ... good enough for me......
