Boo Honey

Honey is stored in the beehive or nest within a honeycomb, which consists of a double layer of uniform hexagonal cells constructed from beeswax (secreted by worker bees) and propolis (a plant resin collected by the workers). The honeycomb serves as food for the larvae and other members of the colony during winter. Beekeepers commonly sell honeycomb as a delicacy, or they may extract the wax for various purposes.

Honey is a sweet, viscous liquid food, dark golden in color, produced in the honey sacs of various bees from the nectar of flowers. The flavor and color of honey are determined by the flowers from which the nectar is gathered. Some of the most commercially desirable honeys are produced from clover by the domestic honeybee. The nectar is ripened into honey through the inversion of the major portion of its sucrose sugar into the sugars levulose (fructose) and dextrose (glucose) and by the removal of excess moisture.
