Honey Color Comparison

This a photo the color differences between orange honey (right) and wildflower (left). The top containers are plastic, but the bottom one are glass so the coloration is easier to see. And yes, each flavor/variety taste different.

Each of this is a 1 lb. jar and approximate 12 fl oz honey. Honey is denser then water by an approximate ratio of 4:3 (honey:water). A gallon of honey weights 12 lbs and a gallon of water weights 8 lbs.
