    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.
