To make honey, two things happen: Enzymes that bees produce turn the sucrose (a disaccharide) into glucose and fructose (monosaccharides). See How Food Works for a discussion of food enzymes and saccharides. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, leaving only about 18-percent water in ...
How do you get monofloral honey when bees have different sources of food to support themselves? Nevertheless, the reality is much easier than one might think. Bees, if they have a consistent source of nectar near the hive, will dedicate themselves to harvesting it until the end of flowering...
Yes, bees make honey so they can eat it. There's no limit to how much honey a hive can produce, so smart beekeepers will supply a growing hive with additional space for bees to fill with more honey. This also gives the bees enough living room that they aren't tempted to swarm and...
Honey produced and sold locally is often much more unique in taste than honey manufactured on a huge scale and appearing on grocery store shelves, because these widely distributed products are highly refined and pasteurized, and they may be blends of honey from many different regions. Honey can ...
Bumblebee colonies are much smaller with a normal population of less than a few hundred individuals. Honeybee nests may number into the tens of thousands. Honey Production While both produce honey, bumblebees do not produce a surplus of honey like honeybees. Therefore, beekeepers do not collect...
to survive. With the exception of a few species, bees are social insects that live in colonies of between 10,000 and 60,000 individuals. How many bees live in a single colony depends on factors such as the bees' species, the weather in their environment and how much food is available....
People all over the world enjoy eating the honey. But how much do you know about this (0) food? Most honey is made by bees, but what few people realise is that there are several types of bee which make honey. Bees may have to visit about two million flowers to produce only half a...
There are rich pickings on a trip through the mountains and valleys of Bannau Brycheiniog, formerly known as the Brecon Beacons. Whipping along these narrow lanes, you’ll discover a winery, a smokery, a roastery and a country inn where chefs riff creati

Existing research has yet to investigate how much food can be produced in urban areas on a global scale, nor have they determined what proportion of land is needed to support urban populations. From the perspective of food security, urban agriculture cannot ensure the self-sufficiency of vegetable...
