Solution

Honey

Honey is a sweet, viscosity feast created by bumble bees and other honey bee species. Regurgitation, enzymatic activity, and water evaporation are all used by bees to make honey from the sugary secretions of plants or other insects.

The most commonly employed in honey production are:

  1. Apis mellifera, the European honey bee, and three other species, including Apis cerana, the Asian honey bee, are all members of the cavity-nesting group.
  2. The Asian honey bee is the most well-known species among beekeepers all over the planet.
  3. It's widely cultivated in East Asia, where it's raised in boxes in the same way European honey bees are.
  4. It has also been discovered in the Solomon Islands and Australia in recent years.
