I like alfalfa and sweet clover best.

we like it all, but the darker and stronger stuff is my personal pick.. But I like black strap molasses and dark maple syrup as well.. My wife favors the light and sweeter stuff..

I like good true wildflower honey - we have a small farmer here who sells it and I buy form him when I want the good stuff
Tried pear blossom very mild
Orange Blossom - very sweet
Buckwheat dark like motor oil strong wasn't my fav but I was kid then

Doesn't it depend on what you have access to? For example strawberry blossom honey is very good but how many have had it?

I rarely see honey bees on my blueberries. Most bumblebees

Access, amount, and location.

You really need acres and acres of one source over a long enough predictable time that you can accurately put on and take off supers to get a "pure" varietal and even then both weather and bees can refuse to cooperate. Many a north Georgia keeper tried for sourwood and got sumac instead as they both bloom about the same time. And location matters as sourwood grows over most all of the eastern seaboard as far south as Florida but only produces well in the southern appalachians above 1500 feet.

The blooms are not shaped for easy access for honeybees as the two did not evolve with each other.
