;Honey is produced by the bees from the nectar of a variety of plants as well as from secretions of sapfeeding insects. The bees collect the nectar into their honey stomach and take it back to the colony. In the process of collecting and taking it to the colony, some enzymes are added and sugars are altered.
 ;The nectar is stored in cells in the combs and the bees work to evaporate the moisture until it is between 16-18 %. At this stage it is honey and because of its very high sugar content (>80%) it keeps very well.
 ;Bee honey has been considered a gift from heaven since ancient times. Chemical analysis shows that it contains 35%--40% fructose, 30%-35%glucose, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, carotene and a variety of organic acids, and minerals that the human body needs. Its vitamin B2 content is several times more than that of grape or apple.
