Now listening again with the script.
Honey is a food made by bees. It is sweet and can be used instead of sugar. Bees can travel as far as 75,000 km and visit over two million flowers to produce just half a kilo of honey. The taste and colour of honey depend on which flowers are used by the bees. In fact, there are more than three hundred varieties of honey. The flavour of light-coloured honey is generally mild whereas darker honey is generally stronger.
Since ancient times, honey has been used in both food and medicine. Honey was of great value to the ancient Egyptians, who used it as payment.
Today, honey is produced and eaten in every part of the world. However, honey is not just food – it can be taken for sore throats and is used in many skin and hair-care products. Research suggests that it prevents tiredness and improves athletic performance
