HOW HONEY IS FORMED

Facts about the composition of Honey

Natural Honey is a product made by honey bees from nectar and pollen grains which are produced by special glands in the flower of plants.

The bees reduce excess water from nectar by evaporation, they first reduce the moisture content from 80% to about 40%. In addition to reducing the moisture content of nectar, honey bees also add enzymes from within special glands in thier bodies, these enzymes present in honey are the catalysts which allow all nutritious substance to be digested.

The honey bee must continue further organizing of the substances from the point where the plant has transformed its sugar sap into nectar from the nectar and pollen of the plant which are its food, the bee produces wax which is formed into hexagonal cells inside which stores the honey.

Several bees take part in the production of honey, the field bee or forager brings a load of nectar to the hive and transfers it to a house bee, the house bee then proceeds to the empty part of the hive where she exposes the nectar to the air while bieng fanned by the fanning bees.

The air in circulation helps reduce the moisture content of the nectar and aids sugar concentration, the time required for nectar to mature into honey depends on its original moisture content. If the sugar content ofthe nectar is high. Ripening takes about two hours, if however the sugar content is low, more time is required.

Mature honey usually has over 80% sugar concetration. When matured, the honey comb where honey is stored is usually sealed. Matured honey can be harvested and be stored indefinitely. Unsealed honey is not ripe and therefore ferments shortly after it is harvested.
