Honey is produced from the nectar in flowers gathered by bees to feed young bees. Honey also used as energy source for their workers.

The nectar is greatly concentrated and stored in wax cells, thousands of which form the honeycomb. In natural honeybee colony, honey serves as food for the bees though the winter when plants are dormant.

Its inauspicious beginning not with standing, honey has been a highly valued human commodity for millennia.

It has been long recognized as one of the finest of nature’s energy foods.

Honey may be one of the most effective ways to consume carbs before exercise. The lower glycemic index profile of honey is an important consideration for athletes.

Most of the water in the nectar evaporates, resulting in honey, which is thirty five to forty percent fructose, thirty to thirty five percent dextrose, seventeen to twenty percent water and small amounts of enzymes, etc.
