honey
honey Nectar collected by bees from flowers, and partly digested so that the complex sugars are broken down to simpler ones. It is concentrated by the evaporation of water, and also contains traces of gums, pollen, minerals, and enzymes. It is one of the principal foods of growing bee larvae, the other being protein-rich pollen. Honey is also eaten by adult bees, and is an energy-rich food which fuels their foraging trips.
