Unsurprisingly, southwestern Western Australia produces many different honeys, each deliciously distinct.
The most prized varieties are produced from rare, endemic species.
However, Western Australia’s southwest also has the world’s highest proportion of flowering plants that do not feed and/or seduce/deceive insect pollinators; these flowers (all, endemic species) favour birds.
(a few rely also/instead on particular, very small, also-endemic mammals)
WA’s floral emblem is bird-adapted.
