Honey.

Today at breakfast I was looking at the honey thinking.... "What a wierd substance...and we totally love it and eat it." So I decided to look up how honey is made. And well.... it goes through this whole process of thrown up by field bees, fed to the house bees and then 'some how' magically transfered to the honey comb. Wierd maybe disgusting. Yet so good. It is said to be all natural. Natural in that bees do this all the time I guess but, if we did that as humans I might just vomit... and not feed it to someone. Also, interesting that bees even make honey. Why? Amazing really. It all goes around.
Here is what I read--

What is honey? How do honey bees make honey?

Honey is a sweet, thick sugary solution made by bees. The composition of honey consists of varying proportions of fructose, glucose, water, oil and special enzymes produced by bees. (Glucose and fructose are types of suger)

The first step in making honey begins when field bees fly from flower to flower collecting the sweet juices or nectar that a flower provides. With their tongues, the field bees suck out the nectar and store it in sacs within their bodies. After filling their sacs with these sweet juices, the field bees fly back to their bee hive and regurgitate the stored nectar into the mouths of house bees.

These house bees are assigned the job of adding enzymes from their bodies to the nectar. The enzymes cause the water in the nectar to evaporate-thereby turning the nectar into honey. Lastly, the nectar is stored in a cell of a honeycomb. Overtime, the nectar ripens and becomes honey.

The buzz on honey...

Honey is one of the easiest foods to digest.
Honey is used in many cough syrups because its smooth, thick texture soothes throats.
As a result of honey's unique ability to readily absorb air, it is often used as a moistening agent in baking.
Honey comes in all types of colors and flavors. The color and flavor of honey depends on the how old the honey is and the kind of flower that the nectar was extracted from.
