However, diabetics should always consult their doctor before including honey in their diet.

Bees are often killed in the production of honey, in the worst case the whole hive may be destroyed if the keeper doesn't wish to protect them over the winter. Not all beekeepers do this, but the general practice is one that embodies the attitude that living things are mere material and have no intrinsic value of their own other than what commercial value we can wrench from them. Artificial insemination involving death of the male is now also the norm for generation of new queen bees. See similar questions...

Honey is frequently used in beer, to lighten the taste and give a slightly honey accent to the flavor. The best honeys to use are lighter flavored varieties like clover, as stronger flavors tend to mar the flavor of the beer. In a 5 gallon batch, honey can make up to 35% of the total fermentables without causing a stuck fermentation (unlike malt extract, honey lacks yeast nutrients). Add the honey halfway through the boil. See similar questions...

If by "sugar" we mean white table sugar, the answer is definitely NO. Table sugar is sucrose, a substance made up of two molecules attached together. When we eat table sugar, our stomach has to use its own enzymes to separate the molecules apart before we can use the sugar's energy. Honey is quite different. The bees have added a special enzyme to the nectar that separates the sucrose into glucose and fructose, two simple sugars that our bodies can absorb directly. See similar questions...

One reason honey is called a "miracle food", is because in its natural form, it is fully preserved. No organisms can live in it and the product will not decompose. However, if the moisture content is raised above 20%, yeasts can begin to grow and cause fermentation. Honey can also change texture over time, and separate out into solids (glucose) and liquids (fructose and moisture). Stirring the product will mix up the components and return it to its former creamed state. See similar questions...

Common table sugar is 99% sucrose. Honey, on the other hand, is composed of glucose, fructose, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and oligosaccharides. Although relatively low in nutrients compared to other foods, honey contains more nutrients than table sugar. The major nutritional benefit of honey is the benefit of a concentrated source of energy with 100g of honey providing 304 Kcal, or 10.9% of the USDA Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).

Granulation or crystallization occurs when glucose crystals grow, a natural process in all honey. Dark honey seems to crystallize faster than light colored honey. In grocery stores you will most likely liquid honey that has been heated to very high temperatures. This process is called pasteurization, in order to kill yeast spores. The store bought honey is also typically filtered to remove starter crystals. See similar questions...
