So I just found out a cool thing? Bees’ honey sometimes changes color depending on the variety of nectar they drink (Which makes a lot of sense, since honey is basically Delicious Insect Vomit)

And in New York, there’s been a case of a rooftop beekeeper getting BLUE HONEY because the Bees drank up some sweet, sweet antifreeze and dyed their honey blue. He had another case where it turned red when his bees went to a candy manufacturer and it turned the bees’ honey reddish-pink when they drank some runoff from the candy

Can you IMAGINE the weird fuckin flowers in Sorineth, how many colors there must be of nectar?? IMAGINE WHAT BEE HONEY LOOKS LIKE IN SORINETH, HOW IT VARIES BY THE FLIGHT’S TERRITORY…

Shadow: Dark purpleish/violet honey. Goes great on toast and dyes your tongue purple

Light: White/gold honey, not unlike Royal Jelly? Very sweet, used in candy.

Plague: Brown, very dull honey. Very heady flavor. Good substitute for bbq sauce. Sorta looks like it, too.

Nature: Mixed bag, but you’re most likely to find normal-coloured honey here. Goes with everything- but ESPECIALLY tea.

Arcane: Pinkish honey, clearer than others. Very easy on the throat and has amazing healing applications

Ice: Who the fuck? There aren’t any bees there. Go elsewhere (The Icewarden is just mad that his native honey is nearly pale/white, and tastes like nothingness)

Fire: BRIGHT Red or gold honey. Used in perfumes

Water: Again, pretty likely to find normal coloured honey here. Sometimes tinged green. Apply to dry scales to rehydrate them and heal cracked skin.

Wind: When the bees aren’t blown away, a very pale honey tinged orange or green, depending on the region. Very aromatic and good to eat if your nose is snubbed up

Earth: Small ground-growing flowers that produce a surprisingly pinky colour honey. Think pink gypsum. Its consistency is perfect to add into baking recipes, giving dishes a very lovely apple-y flavor, amazingly

Lightning: Strangely copper looking. Tastes like metal. Cactus flower honey usually isn’t that bad but the bees in this area are so magically charged by their native element they may as well produce battery juice. No application aside from dumping it into your enemy’s tea and watching their face contort with disgust shortly before they vomit up the last two days’ meals.
