Honey Bee Healthy taste in honey on Flow Hive

I recently harvested a Flow Hive. This is the 2nd year for this hive and I was very surprised at what happened. This colony was given “Honey Bee Health” in their 1:1 sugar water at a specified measurment of 20ml/gal sugar water. It took no more than two gallons total and when I harvested it I got about 2.5 gallons of honey. However when cleaning up after the harvest, my wife asked if I had tasted it so I did and we both agreed that it had a tasted & smell of honey bee health. I paid $120 for a gallon of this stuff that everyone swore by. Has anyone else had this problem? The honey is not ruined but just has a funny taste.

Well! I may point out your problem here. That’s sugar water…It seems that you have feed Bee with sugar water before harvesting…therefore, what you got is not bee honey but Sugar + Honey bee. that why you has a funny taste.
please note: Don’t let your bees eat sugar water before 3 months to the time you harvest Honey.
