Honey’s first principle use is as bee food. Bees hop from flower to flower, sucking up the sweet liquid nectar and storing it in a special receptacle sac. They return to the hive and transmit the liquid to other bees that then ingest it, adding their special enzymes to the mix, before secreting it back into the honeycomb chambers of the hive. In time, it ripens and the bees use it to feed themselves.
