Honeys are not all the same

There are several FACTORS that influence the quality and constitution of honey.

Honey is understood as the food product produced by honey bees, from the nectar of flowers or secretions from living parts of plants or excretions of plant-sucking insects that remain on living parts of plants, which bees collect, they transform, combine with specific substances of their own, store and let it mature in the combs of the hive.

BEE SPECIES

The best known and most common stinging bee is Apis mellifera.

(Tetragonisca angustula ).

The elaboration, structure and storage process varies.
