So when they store nectar, they keep it separated by source?

Correct, which is one of the reasons why beekeepers are able to get monofloral honey varieties.  The different colored honey cells are sometimes very noticeable if a darker and lighter variety are coming in around the same time.  It's also why it makes me kind of upset when people harvest all their honey once a year and then mix it all together.  I mean, the bees went to all that work to keep the different flavors separate!
