Carbohydrates, notably fructose and glucose, make up the majority of the sugar in honey, with lower amounts of other sugars, including sucrose and maltose. In addition, it has trace levels of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants. Furthermore, honey possesses a distinctive flavour and aroma due to its volatile organic compounds.
Although both nectar and honey are delicious compounds produced by plants and consumed by humans, their composition, sources, and applications differ greatly. The primary distinctions between nectar and honey are as follows:
Source: A sugar-rich liquid that plants, especially flowers, produce is called nectar. For pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, it provides energy. Bees, on the other hand, use the nectar they gather to make honey. Bees store the nectar in honeycombs after processing it in their stomachs, where enzymes, convert complicated carbohydrates into simpler ones.
The main ingredients of nectar are simple sugars such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose, as well as a little amount of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. On the other hand, honey is a concentrated version of nectar that has been enhanced by the bees' addition of different enzymes and a higher percentage of simple sugars. Additionally, it contains minute amounts of wax, pollen, and other bee secretions.
Use: Bees use honey as a long-term food storage for their hive, while pollinators primarily use nectar as a food source.

Honey's raw form is the one detaining all its main benefits and properties. By altering its chemical composition by heating or overheating the honey It may completely change its compounds leading to health hazards.
