Juanse asked "Legally is honey from animal origin (like milk)? or it is considered originating from a plant (like fruit)?" I am no lawyer either, but can see the difference. Plants do not produce honey....they produce nectar. Bees use the nectar to produce honey. Definitions that may help your dilemma. Definition of honey according to Codex Alimentarius Honey is the natural sweet substance, produced by honeybees from the nectar of plants or from secretions of living parts of plants, or excretions of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which the bees collect, transform by combining with specific substances of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in honeycombs to ripen and mature. Definition of honey according to the EU Honey is the natural sweet substance, produced by Apis mellifera bees from the nectar of plants or from secretions of living parts of plants, or excretions of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which the bees collect, transform by combining with specific substances of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in honeycombs to ripen and mature. The EU definition states that honey is only honey according to the definition when it is produced by Apis mellifera honeybees.
