Honey

Honey is a sweet and thick fluid produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. According to the United States National Honey Board and various international food system, honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance...this includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners. This article refers exclusively to the honey produced by honey bees honey twisted by other bees or other insect have very different properties. Honey is significantly sweeter than table sugar and has attractive chemical properties for baking. Honey has a typical flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.

Most microorganisms do not grow in honey because of its low water movement of 0.6[2]. However, it is important to note that honey frequently contains dormant end spores of the bacteria Clostridium outline, which can be perilous to infants as the end spores can transform into toxin-producing bacteria in the infant's immature intestinal tract, leading to disease and even death. The study of pollens and spores in raw honey can determine floral sources of honey. Because bees carry an electrostatic charge, and can attract other particles, the same techniques of melissopalynology can be used in area ecological studies of radioactive particles, sand, or particulate pollution.
