What does HONEY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet, sticky substance produced by bees from the nectar of flowers, stored in a honeycomb as food.
Worker bees gather nectar and process it inside the hive until it thickens into honey, which the colony relies on as its main food store through winter. Because it resists spoiling almost indefinitely when properly sealed, honey has been used by people for thousands of years both as a sweetener and as a traditional remedy. The word is also used affectionately to address a loved one, a sense unrelated to the substance itself.
How HONEY is used
Common in cooking, nutrition, and beekeeping, and equally common as an informal term of endearment.
