What’s in honey made by bees in a major U.S. city?
“A high diversity of plants – even nonflowering ones – helps bees thrive in cities. Insects that feed on sap-producing plants such as conifers expel honeydew, a sweet secretion, that bees collect  and make into honey.

22% from Flowers, Grasses and Shrubs
22% from Conifers”
