Honey is a fragrant, viscosity, sweet substance derived from plant nectar, which bees collect and change for food into a denser liquid and eventually store it in their honeycombs.

The bees collect nectar from flowers or natural juices, put it in their second stomach and then deposit it in their hive. There it loses moisture and reaches the usual humidity of honey, from 14-18%. (Source www.wikipedia.org )

Due to its low moisture content, honey does not grow bacteria, so it is considered the only natural food that has no expiration date.

The beeswax was found in vessels dating back to 7000 BC, most likely used for sealing. The ancient Egyptians offered honey to the gods and symbolized justice. Then they joined the Greeks, Romans and Chinese who used it as a medicine for wounds, treatment for fever and stomach ailments. (www.cnn.com)
