A number of years ago I bought a couple of jars of "honeydew honey".
This is honey produced by bees that eat "honeydew" instead of nectar.
Honeydew is the sweet secretion of insects that feed on sap, such as
aphids. It has a strong flavor and a dark color; I liked it a lot.

This is the stuff: http://www.airborne.co.nz/hnydew.shtml . I think it's
available from Amazon.
