What is Honey?

Honey is a sweet, sticky substance that is produced by bees. It is made from the nectar of flowers, which the bees collect and then store in their honey stomachs. The nectar is broken down into simple sugars, which are then transported back to the hive, where the bees add enzymes to the nectar to further break it down into Honey. Finally, water evaporates off the Honey, leaving behind a thick, golden liquid that we can enjoy. Honey is an important food source for both humans and bees. For humans, it is a valuable source of energy and nutrients. For bees, it provides them with the necessary moisture and sugars they need to survive.
