What is honey?

It is just a food that bees make from the nectar of flowers. A colony of bees (around thousands) needs a great source of food to feed all its residents.

To make honey, bees take nectar from flowers and then is carried to the beehives, where it gets through a whole process before being stored in the beehives compartments. There, it ripens for some days before being covered by a wax coat. Honey is conserved so that bees could use it when needing it, or until it was taken off very carefully by human beings.

The honey can have different flavours and intensity of colours depending on the kind of nectar and flowers. To keep it, it´s not recomended to put it into the fridge, because this would speed up the crysthalization process. It´s better keeping it at an ambient temperature: honey will not be damaged because of its composition and natural preservatives.
