If it has flowers and nectar, then bees can make honey out of it. This is also true for the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), a flowering plant in the daisy family grown extensively for its oil-rich seeds that are the source of the famous and quite healthy sunflower oil. Sunflower honey is a variety that crystallizes quickly, but that doesn’t make it less healthy than other types of honey. On the contrary, it’s actually quite nutritious and rich in beneficial elements such as amino acids and minerals, exhibiting antibacterial, energizing and antioxidant properties.
