The dominant type of plant affects color and if (or how much) it solidifies. I don’t know the details, unfortunately.
There are sooo many variants of honey. The most typical you can get are: meadow, floral, forest, but we also have acacia, honeydew and linden.
I would say that the right one are meadown/floral and the middle one are forest/honeydew. The last one is MAYBE pasty one (paste one, mixed and crystalized).
But overall, there are like more than 100 types of honey. In our country, I would say you can get like 10-20 types? Maybe even more.
Not an expert but this is what I gathered from my fathers knowledge. The dark one seem to be from trees. In my humble opinion, the darker the better. Lighter honey might be from regular plants. Usually when the honey is hardening and is surgery a lot it might be from colza or when the keeper is feeding bees too much during harvest.
