Was at the apiary today buying some orange blossom & talking to the owner. He informed me that bees do not produce honey from blueberries. He said he had just picked up his bees from a blueberry farm. They weighed 100# when he dropped them and 80# when he picked them up and that's pretty standard.
When I told him I'd seen it for sale he chuckled and said he used to sell clover by the ton to an apiary in Cape Cod who repacked and sold it as a cranberry varietal. He thinks that's the same thing that happens with blueberry.
Does anyone who knows about honey production have different experience?
