Should I eat honey from a hive that is in a highly industrial urban environment?

Asked by cazzie (24516points) September 15th, 2015

I was given a jar of honey and I thought it tasted a bit off. I’ve compared it to a jar I was given by a local grower out here in the country and it looks and smells very different. I’ve tried googling information about urban honey and bee hives and it wasn’t very encouraging. Seems the bees eat what ever is easiest and end up drinking water from contaminated puddles and the like. Any ideas? Not to worry? Toss it?
