The taste & color of honey is determined by which variety of plant the bees get nectar from. A hive of honeybees tends to get nectar from the same variety of plant till it is exausted. This is why a producer can claim their honey is a certain type. So in answer to your question, some honey is bitter because the bees collect nectar from a specific type of plant that causes that particular kind of honey to be bitter.
