Varieties of honey : Monofloral honey

When a bee is only able to visit one type of flower during the honey making process, the result is a monofloral honey. It is believed that because of the bees body weight, composition and size, the bee should not be able to fly, but in reality bees really do fly. Commercialized beehives keep bees in areas where only one type of flower is what the colony has access to creates monofloral honey. 

Because bees do fly and they are very difficult to contain, there is a small percentage of the honey that is going to be made from additional types of nectar from various flowers.

While it is very difficult to say that any colony is producing honey from just one flower, the tiny amount of nectar that is harvested from another type of flower does not change the over all taste expected from the monofloral honey because the greatest percentage of the honey is derived from one type of flower.
