Honey:
Honey is a sweet liquid that is produced by the honeybees. Honeybees collect nectar (sugary liquid) from the flowers and converts it into honey. Honeybees store the honey in a structure called the beehive.
Honeybees store honey because flowers and nectar are only available for some parts of the year. Bees store and use the honey throughout the year.
Beehives that contains the honey are called as honeycomb. Honey is collected from honeycomb.
The rearing of honeybees on a large scale is called apiculture.
Since honey is widely used, bee-keeping has become an agricultural enterprise to generate additional income for the farmers. Bee-keeping requires low investments. Beehives also provide wax that is used in several medicinal preparation.
