Honey is produced by honey bees, which are social insects belonging to the genus Apis.

Honey bees collect nectar from flowers, which is a sugary liquid produced by plants to attract pollinators.

Honey bees secrete enzymes, such as invertase, which break down complex sugars in nectar into simpler sugars, resulting in the production of honey.

Honey serves as a primary food source for adult bees and provides essential nutrients for the growth and development of larvae and pupae.

Buckwheat honey is characterized by its dark color and robust, slightly bitter flavor.

Honey typically contains around 80-90% sugar, primarily composed of fructose and glucose.

Clover honey is often characterized by its mild, sweet flavor and light amber color.

Honey provides energy, aids digestion, and has potential antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Manuka honey, produced from the nectar of the Manuka tree in New Zealand, is known for its potent antibacterial properties.

Honey typically has a pH level in the range of 3.0-4.0, indicating its acidic nature.

Acacia honey is known for its high fructose content and is often preferred as a natural sweetener due to its mild flavor.

Honey bees fan their wings to promote evaporation of water from nectar, concentrating the sugars and producing honey.

Wildflower honey is produced from the nectar of various wildflowers, resulting in a diverse range of flavors and aromas.

Honey has a very long shelf life when stored properly in airtight containers at room temperature. It can retain its quality and nutritional value for many years.

Creamed honey is a type of honey that has been processed to give it a smooth, creamy texture, making it easy to spread.
