In environments with limited availability of nectar-bearing plants and flowers, forager bees, i.e. the worker bees responsible for collecting, do not feed on the nectar of flowers but use the "honeydew" to produce honey which takes the name of "honeydew honey". . In particular, honeydew is a sticky, sugary substance that forms on trees. It is produced by small insects that feed on tree sap and secrete honeydew, an element with a characteristic brown color rich in nutrients such as sugars and mineral salts.
Due to its numerous beneficial characteristics (antibacterial, antioxidant, prebiotic activity and high content of mineral salts), honeydew honey can be recommended for daily use, for example as a sweetener just like nectar honey.
