Range of Color in Honey

The honey at the top is from an June draw. I think it’s lighter color reflects that it was newly made in the spring from the spring nectar flow.
The darker, thicker honey on the bottom, was from an earlier spring draw and I think is from a frame of overwintered honey. Or perhaps it was just made by the bees from different plants.
Both honeys were from the same bees in the same location. Here in Rancho Santa Fe, California, there are many different flowers blooming at different times. They result in vastly different looking and tasting honeys.
