[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am not a regular here, this is actually my second post here so if I'm wrong about it please go easy on me :):) As I said in the title I belive that this would be the Sage a Mediteranean plant (well not exclusivesly Mediteranean) with quite a few healing characteristics (mum always makes me drink Sage tea when I have a cold :)) and from what I saw on the «Naked chef» it can also be used to spice the food also people make Sage honey. How on earth do they know that the bees where on Sage plants I will never understand. This was actually shadowed by a bush so the morning dew hadn't evaporated, yet. I liked it so I photographed it.
If it turns out that I'm wrong about this plant please correct me I'll be more than happy.

Josip Hi there, I think you have the name half right, it is the Jerusalem sage it's Botanical name is Phlomis fruiticosa, the sage you mother and Jamie use is Salvia officinalis Both plants are in labieacae though the Phlomis's have yellow flowers and the Salvia's Blue/purple.
As to honey being of one type of flower the bee keepers put the hive ether in feild of planted sage or on a wild area where it is the predominent flower though there will be other nectre in the honey bee's visit the richest sorce and it is the skill of the bee keeper to place the bees and remove their honey at the right times to keep it pure as possible.
the image looks soft of focus but suits the misty morning lok TFS
