Do different flowers make the honey taste different?

From a quick search there's one special snowflake wasp, Brachygastra mellifica, that does make some sort of honey but in very small batches that they feed directly to their young rather than storing it. They even look more like a weird bee than a wasp.They don’t make honey. They make paper.
If farmed properly they can be induced to store the honey. In the wild they will occasionally store the honey but some of the plants they gather nectar from result in the honey being toxic to humans.From a quick search there's one special snowflake wasp, Brachygastra mellifica, that does make some sort of honey but in very small batches that they feed directly to their young rather than storing it.

Could they be introduced into an area where those types of plants arent present? I know that would be a bad idea but theoretically could you make them produce a honey that was edible to humans?If farmed properly they can be induced to store the honey.

Tranny wasps. They could be closer than you think.
Yeah they already do it in south America because these wasps are good at fertilizing avocado and they kill invasive pests, the honey is a delicacy their but so are the wasp larvae so I wouldn't trust their palates to be fair.Could they be introduced into an area where those types of plants arent present?
