To those people who think honey is made from honey bees, you're wrong. In America, it might be made from honey bees but it actually is produced by hornets.
The person who answered this is completely wrong. Although SOME species of hornet do produce honey, it's toxicology makes it poisonous to humans. Honey comes from HONEY BEES, hence the name honey bee. Hornets do not produce honey consumable by humans. Whether it be from European or African bees ( aka killer bees ) , the honey we consume comes from honey bees. Another interesting fact is that honey is the only product of an insect that humans consume.
