Medonos is a plant visited by bees to collect nectar , pollen ^[1] from flowers and adhesive from young leaves and shoots . In the hives, these products are processed, respectively, into honey , bee bread and propolis . The formation of paddy - sugar secretions of some insects also belongs to honey properties. Mortar honey of very low quality can cause disease and death of bee families.
