Forest Honey

Bee Organika’s Forest Honey is also known as Honeydew Honey. Instead of gathering nectar from flowers, when making forest honey, bees collect honeydew from trees. It was once believed that the honeydew fell from the stars. More recently, people thought that the tree excreted it. In actuality, honeydew is excreted by aphids. Aphids eat tree sap, looking for amino acids. Once they’ve got what they need, they secrete what’s leftover back onto the tree. That sugary secretion is called honeydew.

Wonderfully, much of this region also has large areas of land that are remote, cut off from civilization and sparsely populated. Producing honey that is truly organic becomes a feasible option in this sort of place. For one, forest honey is less vulnerable to crystallization than regular honey. This is because it has lower glucose levels and a higher mineral content.
