THEORY
Honey, thick, sweet, super saturated
sugar solution manufactured by bees to
feed their larvae and for the subsistence
during winter.
9|Pa ge
Bee honey is composed of fructose,
glucose and water, in varying proportions. It
also contains several enzymes and oils. The
colour & flavour depends on the age of the
honey and the sources of the nectar. The
coloured honeys are usually of higher
quality than dark coloured honeys. Other
high grade honeys are made by bees from
orange blossoms, clover and Alfalfa. A well
known, poorer grade honey is produced
from buckwheat.

2-3 ml of aqueous solution of honey
is taken in a test tube. 2-3ml of
Tollen`s reagent is added. The test
tube is kept in a boiling water bath
for about ten minutes. A shining
silver mirror indicates the presence
of reducing carbohydrates.

REPORT:-
I finally conclude the project
with result and conclusion.
From the above experiment we
come to know that honey is a
sweet tasting substance. It does

not only contain sugar but also
other substance. I have done a
research work on it on the basis
of the experiments and found
that-
Potassium is present.
Iron is present.
Calcium is absent.
Magnesium is absent.
Honey contains reducing sugar.
