Honey is a sugary food substance produced and stored by certain social hymenopteran insects
[1] It is produced from the sugary secretions of plants or insects, such as floral nectar or aphid honeydew, through regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation.The variety of honey produced by honey bees (the genus Apis) is the most well-known, due to its worldwide commercial production and human consumption

Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose, and has about the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar. It has attractive chemical properties for baking and a distinctive flavor that leads some people to prefer it to sugar and other sweeteners.
