Abstract
Bee honey is syrupy and viscous substance that produced by honeybees from the nectar of flowers or from the secretion of living parts of plants, in which honeybees transform through enzymatic activity and store it in wax structures called honeycombs until maturation (Adenekan, 2010, Awad and Elgornazi, 2016) should be safe for all consumers and pollinators. It has been used by humans since ancient times in various foodstuffs and drinks as a sweetener and flavoring (Kowsalya, 2012, Omoya et al, 2014).It has also medicinal and therapeutic effects (Eyobel et al., 2017).
