Honey originates from the nectar and saccharine secretions of plants that are gathered, modified, stored and dehydrated by the honey bee (Apis melifera). Honey consists essentially of different natural sugars, with the predominant sugars being fructose and glucose. Honey shall be pure and free from additives, preservatives, noxious substances and admixtures of any kind including sucrose and invert sugars. Pine honey is sweet and spicy honey, with some woody notes, a resinous fragrance and dark amber color which is produced by bees that collect honeydew (sugary secretions) from a scale insect species called Marchalina hellenica, which lives on the sap of certain pine trees. The marchalina hellenica can be found on the Turkish Pine (Pinus brutia) and some of othe pine species. The natural variability of honey might cause slight changes in colour, taste or texture of different productions.
