Last year I had my first harvest and all of my honey was spotted lanternfly/honeydew honey. It is dark and Smokey flavored, and SLF took over our area last year so it checks out.

My hive died, and I’m getting a new one soon. Is there any way to avoid having all the honey “tainted” in this way? I know it’s fine to eat, it’s just a very particular flavor that’s not universally beloved.

I’m in central Ohio
