Bees generally forage for plant nectar, but they also can take the sweet secretions of aphids known as HoneyDew. HoneyDew nectar is produced from a small insect (Ultracoelostoma assimile) living in the bark of two of New Zealand's beech forests, mainly the black beech. HoneyDew Honey contains bioflavinoids, which are antioxidants, and many essential minerals.
