About honey

Honey is the most famous and the most important bee product. It can be used as a healthy sweetener, but provides also a valuable dietary food. Although some products and foodstuffs are being called “natural” nowadays, the reality is often quite different. But honey really is a genuine natural product. The bees collect the nectar, the honeydew and other sweet juices of natural origin, enrich them with substances from their own body (enzymes and animal proteins from glands in the pharynx), change them in their digestive system and store them in the honeycombs. The mixture matures there and turns into honey.

Sorts of honey

The two most common varieties of honey are flower honey and honeydew honey. Flower honey is quite light and contains the juices of early flowering flowers of fruit trees, meadow flowers or for example the flowers of a flowering rape plant. This honey contains simple sugars (glucose and fructose) and is therefore very easily digestible. Honeydew honey is usually darker because of the content of vegetable pigments of the tree sap. Compared to the flowering honey, it also contains more fructose, minerals and trace elements, which are very useful for humans. When talking about honey, most people think first of the darker flower honey, which is very popular because of its nice fragrance and good taste. There are also other kinds of honey, for example creamed honey (a kind of flower honey).

A perfect source of energy

Honey contains simple sugars, which enter the blood directly through the mucous membranes. The simple sugar content provides an immediate supply of energy and helps to create muscle tissue. The fast energy supply is particularly important for manual workers, sportsmen or hardworking homemakers.
