What is Honeydew ?

Bees do much more than stealing fower nectar! Honeydew is a sugar-rich sticky liquid, secreted by aphids and some scale insects as they feed on plant sap. When their mouthpart penetrates the phloem, the sugary, high-pressure liquid is forced out of the gut's terminal opening. The more ecological is the orchard, the more honeydew bees will catch. Other secretions produced by trees (not flower nectar) are also collected.
