Well it's never affected the taste of my honey, and my bees are surrounded by sitka spruce! We once had a colony that seemed to be specialising in blackcurrant bushes one year; opening the hive was like walking into a Ribena factory! None of the other colonies smelt of blackcurrant, though they were equally close to the bushes.
got that ,good stuff thanks, I'm way north of you, Stornoway, its been some ten days weatherwise,wishing all the best to you and yours,,kenny
