Honey Dew honey is known to be one of the most unique, most intriguingly exotic kinds of honey in the world. It has been acclaimed as special honey even among the specialities.
Work of Bees and Aphids
Honey Dew Honey (also known as forest honey) comes from the beech forests of New Zealand. Our forests attract aphids which eat the sap on the bark for protein building blocks, amino acids and then secrete sugar-like substance on the trees which sparkles in the sunlight, hence the name "honeydew". The bees love the honeydew and feed on it to culminate into an absolutely spectacular and 100% organic end product, making it uniquely different from regular honey made from the flower blossom nectar.
Now a New Zealand premium export item, honeydew honey is highly prized in Europe but still relatively unknown in Asia. However, it is believed that with the increasing number of clinical studies in recent years, this honey could one day be the next hot health food with a prominent standing just like Manuka honey.
