Özet

Honey is one of the most natural and sweetest products produced from nectar and secretions collected by honeybees from nature. Due to its geographical location, Turkey is very rich in terms of honey plants and is a habitat for a wide variety of flower and secretion honeys. It has a large variety of honeys such as blossom honeys, dew honeys, forest honeys and industrial honeys etc. Forest honey is the honey produced from trees and is divided into two classes as flower and secretory honeys. Chestnut, acacia, linden, rhododendron, naringin, blackthorn and heather honeys are blossomed forest honeys. Pine, oak, cedar, spruce, and fir honeys are forest honeys with secretory honey properties.
