While many plants produce nectar, [[beekeepers]] prefer to place their hives near certain plants, for the qualities of the [[honey]] produced. Certain agricultural crops, such as [[clover]] and [[buckwheat]], are used to make [[Monofloral honey|specific honeys]], which often command a premium price.<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/helping-agricultures-helpful-honey-bees | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190912050954/https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/helping-agricultures-helpful-honey-bees | url-status=dead | archive-date=September 12, 2019 | title=Helping Agriculture's Helpful Honey Bees | journal=FDA | date=5 March 2021 }}</ref>

Some plants are avoided by some beekeepers (and sought out by others) due to substances found in the nectar. For example, honey made from the nectar of [[rhododendron]]s ("[[mad honey]]") contains chemicals that cause light-headedness, hallucinations and are believed by some to improve sexual performance. In slightly larger quantities "mad honey" is toxic, and shopkeepers are careful how they sell it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://modernfarmer.com/2014/09/strange-history-hallucinogenic-mad-honey/|title=The Strange History of 'Mad Honey'|work= Modern Farmer|date=4 September 2014|publisher=|author=Bryce, Emma}}</ref>
