Essay about the benefits of Honey

 Honey is a sticky and thick substance that the less water there is, the more sticky and concentrated it is, and depending on the area where the bee feeds and the type of plants it uses, the color and concentration of honey varies. Honey is an acidic food, but because of the sugar it contains, it does not feel acidic. Honey is the only food that does not spoil; Of course, if honey is heated to more than 60 degrees, it loses all its properties.

According to articles in ancient Egypt, a mixture of honey, wheat and barley was used instead of alcohol. Today, scientists are realizing the properties of natural honey and using it. In addition to the original, the beehive or hive itself has many uses.
