Honeydew is excreted (waste) product of Hemipterans Insect related with Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha species. Honeydew is liquid syrup substance. Insect diet changes within insect gut facilities, and produce honeydew which contains a variety of saccharides and oligosaccharides also in some proteins in some species. Honeydew has an important positive and/or negative role in particular ecosystems (insect itself which produce honeydew, plant, soil and other organisims). Honeydew has negative impact on plant health due to the formation of fumagine, otherwise positive effects on the nutrient chain. Many microorganisms, insects (such as ants, honey bees, wasps, parasitoids, predators), snails, birds and even man benefits from honeydew as a food. Therefore, honeydew affects these organisms population density and their relationship with each other and the environment. From ancient time, honeydew has been used as a source of food, in the form of manna or honeydew honey by humans. Honeybees is able to utilize honeydew for producing "honeydew honey, forest honey or pine honey". This honey is an economically important product and widely consumed by humans.

“…Additionally, Evans blue dye was used to stain honeydew and offered to mites to test for honeydew feeding based on evidence of the presence of the blue tracer in the gut. Glucose, fructose, sucrose and trehalose, principal components of aphid and coccid honeydew (Strong, 1965;Brown, 1975;Bogo and Mantle, 2000;Bogo, 2003), were each tested individually to determine the potential of these sugars to elicit the response observed in the presence of honeydew. Experiments were conducted using larvae, deutonymphs and adults to determine whether the aggregation observed on honeydew is restricted to specific stages or is consistently expressed throughout the life cycle.…”

SUMMARY This study shows that honeydew prompts arrestment and reduced activity, but not attraction, by the mite Balaustium sp. nr. putmani. When presented with short-range, two-choice bioassays, mites ceased their characteristic rapid crawling activity when they encountered honeydew-treated surfaces, resulting in them clustering around the honeydew. Approximately 80% of mites were retained by honeydew, with responses being independent of both mite life-history stage and source of honeydew (coccid scale insect or aphid). No obvious crawling movements or redirection of running path were made to the honeydew by the mites, implying the lack of any kind of attractant. Response of mites to single-sugar presentations of the main honeydew components – glucose, sucrose, fructose and trehalose – (0.001–0.1 mmol l–1) were inconsistent and failed to reproduce the arrestment/clustering associated with raw honeydew, suggesting that none of these sugars is an active arrestant ingredient. Formation of feeding clusters on honeydew does not contribute to enhancing water conservation by suppressing net transpiration (water loss) rates of individual mites as group size increases, indicating that the clustering is an artifact of arrestment. We hypothesize that release of neryl formate by the mites reduces negative interactions with the local ant species commonly associated with honeydew. We hypothesize that honeydew serves as: (1) a cue that facilitates discovery of scale/aphid prey; (2) a retainer on plants where these prey are present, signaling abundance and quality; and (3) an alternative and supplemental food source like that noted for other plant-inhabiting predatory mites. Neryl formate serves as an alarm pheromone and foul-tasting allomonal defense secretion that prevents predation of mites by ants that co-exist with aphid/scale insects in these honeydew-rich habitats.
