Honey

Honey was a mysterious substance to ancient people, Greeks, knew bees connected to it, but not exactly how.

Romans thought honey fell from heaven and landed on leaves, “the saliva of the stars.”

Honey is produced from the nectar in flowers gathered by bees to feed young bees. Honey also used as energy source for their workers.

Its inauspicious beginning not with standing, honey has been a highly valued human commodity for millennia.

In fact, the oldest artistic depictions of insects are cave paintings of honey bees disturbed by a human honey hunter.

Most of the water in the nectar evaporates, resulting in honey, which is thirty five to forty percent fructose, thirty to thirty five percent dextrose, seventeen to twenty percent water and small amounts of enzymes, etc.
