Does honey have a botanical name or family?
Answers:
no i dont think so is a bi product of bees and such is not botanical at all or i could be wrong
It's just called honey.
No, but the tree from which the honey was made has a name. E.g. eucalyptus honey would be 'Eucalyptus camaldulensis honey' but the honey it self would not have a botanical name.
It is not a botanical product.
It is produced by bees.
No, honey is not a plant. It's an animal product. Bees produce it to use as food for themselves. If the bees have been frequenting only a particular type of flower (thyme, clover, etc.), than the honey will be referred to as that type of honey, but the honey itself only contains trace amounts of pollen, and that's only raw, unprocessed honey.
Honey is a sweet and viscous fluid produced by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. Therefore it doesn't have a botanical name or family. It's mainly sugar.
