Multifloral 1 (M1), multifloral 2 (M2), multifloral (M3), monofloral (MO) and honeydew (HD). Different lowercase letters represent a significant difference (P < 0.05) within the column (among time) as determined by Tukeýs comparison of average. Different uppercase letters represent a significant difference (P < 0.05) within the row (among honeys) as determined by Tukeýs comparison of averages.
