Uncapping a honeycomb with honeydew honey

Honeydew honey is made from bees taking direct secretions from trees such as pine, fir, chestnut, and oak or primarily honeydew, the sweet secretions of aphids or other plant-sap-sucking insects, to produce honey rather than from nectar. [1] [2] This honey has a much larger proportion of indigestibles than light floral honeys, thus causing dysentery to the bees. [3] Honeydew honey has a stronger and less sweet flavor than nectar-based honey, and European countries have been the primary market for honeydew honey. [1] In Greece, pine honey, a type of honeydew honey, constitutes 60–65% of honey production. [4]
