Chestnut honey has a bitter taste and dark colour and is very useful in the fight against cardio-circulatory problems.

Honeydew, very sweet and dark in colour is excellent for treating hoarseness and colds and is very similar to honey. It differs from the latter since it has a much higher protein content and it is not made from nectar but from a sugary dejection emitted by some of the flowers parasites. This substance is collected and transformed by the bees in the same way as nectar.
