Mad honey is a scarce sticky, sweet substance that honeybees as well as other related species produce when they forage on flowers. Bees make honey by consuming the glands' secretions of liquid or by glandular activity, by regurgitation, hydraulic actions, enzyme action, and air evaporation. The word"mad" originates from a Latin phrase, "mala posta", meaning "on the post". There are fifteen species of honeybees. They are all native to Africa and Australia. Two species of bees have been deemed to be more rare than other species. They are collectively referred to as apis mellifica.
