LES MAGICIENS DE LA RUCHE
Imagine you're in the heart of a vast meadow bathed in soft light, where bees bustle about among a mosaic of multicolored flowers. It's here, in this showcase of biodiversity, that honey with its unique flavors is born.
Origin and production: Honey is the result of a complex process involving honey bees. These insects collect nectar from flowers using their proboscis, store it in their crop and then regurgitate it into the hive. They then fan the nectar with their wings to reduce the water content, helping to transform the liquid into honey. This enzymatic and evaporative process gives honey its unique characteristics.
Composition: Honey is composed mainly of glucose and fructose, the two main types of sugar found in plants. However, it also contains a variety of bioactive compounds such as enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and antibacterial substances. These elements give honey its health-giving properties.
