	Honeydew Honey
		Honeydew is a classification of honey that refers to honey produced by honeybees collecting nectar that is exuded from another insect such as an aphid or scale insect.
		Honeydew is generally a slower honey flow than most of the other flower honeys (although there are exceptions of course), and honeybees prefer to store honeys like this closer to the brood nest, typically in darker combs.
		Honeydews in general are normaly low in glucose and they are also lower in fructose than flower honeys.

		The honeydew is a type of edible melon (Family Cucurbitaceae) — a cultivar, of the species Cucumis melo L. subspecies melo L., which includes as other cultivars, the cantaloupe, casaba, musk melon, and several ornamental gourds.
		Honeydew is a sugar-rich secretion of certain plant-sucking insects such as aphids and scale insects.
		Ants and wasps may eat honeydew, while honeybees gather it and process it into a dark, strong honey that is highly prized in parts of Europe and Asia for its reputed medicinal value.

		Honeydews can be grown on a wide range of soil types, but produce the highest yields and best-quality melons on fertile, well- drained, slightly acid (pH of 6.0 to 6.5) sandy or silt loam soils.
		Consequently, honeydews are harvested by cutting the stem rather than by pulling the melon from the stem.

		The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a heat-activated catalyst in decreasing the honeydew level of a contaminated cotton sample.
		Cotton lint heavily contaminated with whitefly honeydew was treated with citric acid and subsequently subjected to elevated temperatures for varying periods of time.
		Levels of honeydew sugars decreased for catalyst-treated cotton compared with untreated cotton when heated at a temperature of 160°C. Chemical treatment of contaminated cotton in conjunction with elevated temperatures may be the basis of a potential method for the mitigation of stickiness on cotton prior to processing at the mill.

	ARS \| Publication request: Silverleaf Whitefly Honeydew, Honeydew Sugars and Sticky Cotton
		Technical Abstract: Research to identify the sugar components of Bemisia honeydew has revealed that, for whiteflies feeding on cotton, two insect-produced sugars, trehalulose and melezitose are the major honeydew components, but a number of other sugars occur in lesser amounts.
		Some of the same sugars found in honeydew occur as physiological sugars in the cotton plant and contributions to lint stickiness of plant physiological and whitefly sugars cannot be separated.
		Increased concentrations of either honeydew extracted from lint or individual honeydew sugars from a commercial source resulted in increased thermodetector counts, as did a mixture of sugars simulating honeydew.
