- The honey that is produced by the bees using excretions of plant-sucking insects (Hemiptera) is called honeydew honey. The main differentiating factors of blossom honey and honeydew honey are the sugar composition and electrical conductivity. The higher fructose contents and electrical conductivity makes honeydew honey better than other types of honey. Honeydew honey has a rich composition of nutrients in its content and can be a dietary supplement and has therapeutic uses, besides antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Few countries in the world especially Turkey, Greece, Germany, Spain, and Bulgaria, have the necessary environmental conditions for producing this rare type of honey. In the United Arab Emirates, among ten honey samples harvested in different regions of the Emirate of Fujairah, all can be considered honeydew honey showing average electrical conductivity higher (1.4030 mS/cm) compared to foreign samples (1.0968 mS/cm). Furthermore, fructose, glucose, and inverted sugars are similar to the levels of monosaccharides found in honeydew honey samples studied in other countries.
