This is an interesting article about a new varietal honey.  If I understand correctly, the bees are really accessing the honey dew left by the Asian Lanternfly.  That would make it an adulterated Honey, correct?

If I remember correctly, the FDA defines honey as being produced by honeybees from the secretions of plants, so legally I guess so.  I personally wouldn't consider honey dew honey adulterated though, as that term to me implies something was added to the honey through artificial means.  With honey dew, bees are still collecting a sugary substance out in nature and processing it into honey, it just happened to come from an insect instead of a plant.  In my mind that is different from bees visiting a sugar water feeder or getting into snow cone syrup, but maybe that is just me.

I probably overreacted.  Imagine that!    I still don't think I am interested.  But if I had barrels of it, like this beekeeper, I would want to make the most the situation too.
