	Honeydew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Honeydew is a sugar-rich secretion of certain plant-sucking insects such as aphids and scale insects.
		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.
		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.

	Portrait of an Insect
		The basis of the forest honey is represented by the honeydew, a secretion with a high content of sugar, supplied by insects that suck the sap, and excrete the excess of sugar from their food.
		Honeybees are collecting honeydew only during the period from August to October, and also, in smaller quantities, in March and April.
		The stages that nourish themselves (and so produce honeydew), as well as the sexually mature adults of Marchalina hellenica could be differentiated.

	p440sootymold.html
		Sooty mold is often found on plants infested with sap sucking insects such as aphids, white flies, or scales which produce a sugary secretion called honeydew.
		However, the presence of sooty mold is often an indication of insect activity which has the potential for causing damage.
		Sooty mold may also grow on sap or resin associated with wounds.

	The Ash Tree In Indo-European Culture
		The secretion of fermentable honey by the ash tree gave the Indo-Europeans good reason for their particular attention to that tree, and for their apparent belief that it was the nurse of gods and men.
		However, if the Meliai are considered to be both ash tree nymphs and honey nymphs due to their production of manna and honeydew, the common elements of these stories make considerably more sense.
		But ash trees have a property apparently not so well known to philologists which may explain their prominence: They secrete a sugary substance from their bark and leaves, which until the early part of this century was harvested and sold under the name "manna".

	Manna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most widespread explanations, however, are either crystallized honeydew of scale insects feeding on tamarisk twigs, or thalli of the Manna Lichen (Lecanora esculenta).
		The term manna is also used in the modern context to refer to a secretion from various plants, including certain desert or semi-desert shrubs and especially the Ash Fraxinus ornus (manna or flowering ash) of Southern Europe.
		Manna (sometimes or archaically spelled mana) is the name of the food miraculously produced for the Israelites in the desert in the book of Exodus.

	The Ash Tree In Indo-European Culture
		The secretion of fermentable honey by the ash tree gave the Indo-Europeans good reason for their particular attention to that tree, and for their apparent belief that it was the nurse of gods and men.
		First it should be noted that classical writers used a single word to describe three different substances: honey made by bees, honeydew (which we now know is produced by aphids and scale insects), and manna secreted by trees, and that these substances were not necessarily felt to be different in nature.

	Some Ohio Nectar and Pollen Producing Plants, HYG-2168-98
		Nectar production and secretion are affected by many factors, such as fertility, soil moisture and acidity, altitude, latitude, length of day, the number of hours of sunlight per day, and weather.
		When nectar producing plants are scarce, honey bees often collect this honeydew and carry it to the hive where it is converted into honey.
		Nectar is the carbohydrate portion of the honey bee's food and is the raw material of honey.
