Honey

Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance made by honey bees and some related insects. Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants (floral nectar) or from secretions of other insects (such as honeydew). Bees collect nectar from flowers, then enzymatically transform it by partially digesting it in their midgut. The transformation includes breaking down sucrose into glucose and fructose, and adding enzymes that give honey its distinctive flavour and aroma. Honey is stored in wax structures called honeycombs.

Honey is a natural sweetener that has been used for millennia for its medicinal properties. It is a good source of antioxidants and has been shown to have potential benefits for a variety of health conditions.

Manuka honey is a type of honey that is produced in New Zealand from the nectar of the manuka plant. Manuka honey has been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular choice for people with a variety of health conditions.
