| | Honeydew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Honeydew is a sugar-rich secretion of certain plant-sucking insects such as aphids and scale insects. | | | The honeydew is a type of edible melon (Family Cucurbitaceae) — a cultivar, of the species Cucumis melo L. subspecies melo L., which includes as other cultivars, the cantaloupe, casaba, musk melon, and several ornamental gourds. | | | Ants and wasps may eat honeydew, while honeybees gather it and process it into a dark, strong honey that is highly prized in parts of Europe and Asia for its reputed medicinal value. |

| | Honeydew Honey |
| | Honeydew is a classification of honey that refers to honey produced by honeybees collecting nectar that is exuded from another insect such as an aphid or scale insect. | | | Honeydew is generally a slower honey flow than most of the other flower honeys (although there are exceptions of course), and honeybees prefer to store honeys like this closer to the brood nest, typically in darker combs. | | | Another feature of New Zealand beech honeydew is the presence of oligosaccharides (complex sugars) in greater levels than average flower honeys. |

| | The Census of Agriculture reported 383 farms with 35,005 harvested acres of honeydews in 1992, up from 374 farms and 25,699 harvested acres in 1987. | | | Honeydews can be grown on a wide range of soil types, but produce the highest yields and best-quality melons on fertile, well- drained, slightly acid (pH of 6.0 to 6.5) sandy or silt loam soils. | | | Consequently, honeydews are harvested by cutting the stem rather than by pulling the melon from the stem. |

| | Honeydew Melons are members of the squash and cucumber family, (cucurbitaceae members) or gourd family. | | | Honeydew Melons do not ripen after harvesting, and grow on vines along the ground. | | | Honeydew Melons are believed to have originated in Persia, and today are grown in California, Arizona and Texas - states that provide most of the melons consumed in the U.S. Imports from Central America, New Zealand and Chile are available in our markets during domestic seasonal gaps. |

| | The honeydew melon is another group of melons. | | | Cantaloupe and honeydew are warm-season crops that grow best at average air temperatures between 65 and 75 F. It is best to plant when the soil temperature is at least 60 to 65 F. These melons are very tender and should be planted after the last chance of frost. | | | Honeydew melons usually have green or white flesh, although some newer varieties may have orange or pink flesh. |

| | Natural History: New Zealand Sweet Stakes |
| | In the Northern Hemisphere, honeydew producers such as aphids are active only seasonally, but beech scale insects draw off and convert energy from beech trees year-round, and they do so copiously during the austral summer. | | | While some New Zealand caterpillars and beetles do rely on honeydew for food, invertebrates more often benefit indirectly from a fungus that grows on the sticky drops. | | | The yellow-and-black, bee-sized common wasps are also found in other types of forests but are most concentrated in honeydew beech forest, where, thanks to their voracity, they have largely displaced German wasps. |

| | Most people assume this is tree sap, but the culprit is far more likely to be insect honeydew, excreted by aphids or -- in some cases -- scale insects, infesting the leaves and branches. | | | A hard stream of water does not help much, however, if the source of honeydew is scale insects. | | | Composed of sugars and other waste products that pass through the insects' bodies undigested, honeydew becomes harder to remove the longer it's left on the car. |
