What is honey? Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance produced by bees and some related insects.Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose , and has about the same relative sweetness as sucrose ( granulated sugar ). Honey is collected from wild bee colonies, or from hives of domesticated bees, a practice known as beekeeping.

Honey is produced by bees collecting nectar for use as sugars consumed to support metabolism of muscle activity during foraging or to be stored as a long-term food supply. During foraging, bees access part of the nectar collected to support metabolic activity of flight muscles, with the majority of collected nectar destined for regurgitation , digestion, and storage as honey. In cold weather or when other food sources are scarce, adult and larval bees use stored honey as food.

Honey usually widely used for human consumption, including medicine, like cough syrup, lozenges. But often been used for food as a substitute for sugar, both in baking and cooking. Nowadays, honey can also be used to treat light skin wounds, such as, small burns, mosquito bites etc.
