Bee Honey

Honey is a great health drink. Honey is a sweet, sticky, and yellow-brown liquid made from nectar collected from flowers by bees and other insects. It is used in many dishes and recipes around the world because of its sweetness and depth of flavour.

The aroma, colour, and taste of honey vary according to the type of flower it is made of, so there are countless varieties.

Honey has several health benefits and is used in many home remedies.
Here are 7 unique health benefits of honey.
High-quality honey contains important antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. Antioxidants help neutralize your body's reactive oxygen species (ROS).  A lack of antioxidants can lead to conditions such as ageing, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Honey contains a lot of antioxidants.
