Abstract

Honey is a naturally occurring organic substance that has a sweet, tasty liquid consistency and is made from the nectar of flowers, specifically Apis mellifera. It is among the most widely used natural sweeteners. Chemically speaking, it can be described as a naturally occurring food that is mostly made up of sugars and water, with trace amounts of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, organic acids, flavonoids, and other phenolic and aromatic chemicals. Depending on its botanical and geographic origins, its composition varies greatly. In the winter, bees are fed with honey. Honey has been used for thousands of years as food and natural medicine, recommended by healers from many ancient civilizations to treat a wide range of illnesses.
