Honey is a sweet liquid made by bees using the nectar from flowers.Honey has high levels of monosaccharides, fructose, and glucose, and it contains about 70 to 80 percent sugar, which provides its sweetness. Honey also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. 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), by regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. Bees store honey in wax structures called honeycombs.The variety of honey produced by honey bees (the genus Apis) is the best-known, due to its worldwide commercial production and human consumption.Honey is collected from wild bee colonies, or from hives of domesticated bees, a practice known as beekeeping or apiculture.
