Honey is nectar collected by bees from flowers of flowering plants and brewed in hives. Bees absorb nectar or secretions with a water content of about 75% from the flowers of plants and store them in the second stomach. Under the action of various transformations in the body, when various vitamins, minerals and amino acids are enriched to a certain value in about 15 days, the polysaccharides in nectar are simultaneously transformed into monosaccharides glucose and fructose which can be directly absorbed by the human body, and the water content is less than 23%, which are stored in nests and sealed with beeswax. Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, which will crystallize at low temperature, glucose will crystallize, and the non-crystallized part is mainly fructose.
