What is the difference between honey bees and regular bees?

Plant nectar mainly contains three different sugars: glucose, fructose, and sucrose (which is a combination of a glucose and a fructose molecule). Different varieties of plant have these in different ratiOS. Enzymes in a bee's saliva break the sucrose molecule into fructose and glucose.

Honey that is mainly glucose normally remains clear and runny, whereas honey that is mainly fructose sets and becomes granular.

Cream (or creamed) honey is honey with a high fructose content but where the granulation has been controlled to keep the granule size small so the honey has a velvety texture.
