Bees, be they wild or domestic, produce honey in the same manor. Nectar is gathered, returned to hive, deposited in the comb, water is evaporated and the comb is sealed.

The difference is the source of the nectar. Bee keepers will provide their hives for pollination and will label the honey based on the crop being pollinated. For example: If a hive is intended to pollinate an orange grove the honey would be marketted as orange blossom honey and would have citrus notes as expected.

Wild hives will gather nectar from nearby flowers. So the honey may be comprised of a more diverse supply of nectar. This will create a more complex flavor.
