Carrie,
This dark honey is most likely "wild" honey, which is just a mix from whatever is blooming. It's the most flavorful but least repeatable of honeys because the mix is never the same. Here in the Santa Cruz Mtns., I've seen some honey that's so dark that it's almost black. I have no idea what blossoms that nectar came from, but it was so strong it almost took one's breath away!
We have bees on our rosemary all the time. I've always wondered what pure rosemary honey tastes like.
