Jason, in rural areas, with big fields, the color of the honey depends on the type of flowers worked. Since I live in a city, my honey is made from a variety of wildflowers. No one big field of any one flower crop, here.
Some honeys from large fields, are very light yellow in color, with a greenish tinge. Dandelion honey has this color. Clover honey is more amber in color. Other honeys, like those produced from almond and pistachio fields, out West, have yet a different color.

I also have a scant honey harvest this year, not just due to a dry, droughty August and September, but also due to a late start. Most package bees and nucs are located either in the South, or on the West Coast. If you can remember, this past February, there was a freak snow storm, that hit several states, from Louisiana to Georgia. Some kids in those parts, had never seen so much snow. They had a ball in it. Some had a chance to build their very first snowman, make snow angels, etc., lol.
However, this set beeyards back a few weeks, recovering from the damage done. So, honeybee shipments from these states were delayed. A delay of just a few weeks, can adversely affect the honey gathering time, and season honey crop, significantly. By the time I got my honeybees, in early May, as opposed to mid-April, the temperate fruit tree bloom time, usually mid-April through early May, was already finished. These early "nectar and pollen gets" are crucial. Didn't happen this year.
