The good folks at Penn State now house the collection of the late Dr. Jonathon White, the preeminent authority on honey composition.
AND THEY HAVE PUT TECH BULLETIN #1261 ON LINE.
I know that's screaming in computer geek speak. This bulletin is still the most comprehensive body of information on North American Honeys available anywhere, and it has not been reprinted by the USDA for decades.

Let us all thank Penn State. This is such a cool thing. When you look at the body of work that Dr. White donated, it makes a pilgrimage to PSU by any serious meadmaker seem like a mandatory activity.
OK Mr. McFeeley, when are we going? And Vicki and Pete Devaris and Dick Dunn...
