“…Sugars in honeydew, including melezitose, erlose, raffinose, trehalose and trehalulose, are synthesized through gut enzyme action on plant‐derived sucrose in the insects (Hendrix et al., 1992; Wäckers, 2000). The composition and amount of sugars in honeydew vary depending upon the species of insect, host plants and other abiotic and biotic factors, thereby influencing the behaviour of insect herbivores (Blanchard et al., 2022; Fischer et al., 2002; Fischer & Shingleton, 2001; Hogervorst et al., 2007; Tena et al., 2013). For instance, aphids like Metopeurum fuscoviride and Cinara spp.…”

“…The production of honeydew is a complex process influenced by various factors. Certain species release more honeydew than their own body weight on an hourly basis and this process is affected by factors such as insect age (Fischer et al., 2002; Hertel & Kunkel, 1977), size, species, seasonal and geographical location of the host plant (Douglas, 1993, 2009; Fischer & Shingleton, 2001; Hendrix et al., 1992; Wool et al., 2006), diurnal shifts (Taylor et al., 2012) and climate (Blanchard et al., 2022). Understanding these factors is crucial for comprehending the broader implications of honeydew in insect–plant interactions, shedding light on the intricate relationship between insect physiology, plant biochemistry and resultant honeydew composition (Dhami et al., 2011; Douglas, 2009; Fischer et al., 2005).…”

“…The context of honeydew deposition on plant surfaces, influencing the feeding preferences of herbivores, requires exploration. Additionally, the influence of abiotic factors, such as cold, salinity and drought, on honeydew production and composition deserves attention (Blanchard et al., 2022). Most studies investigating the impact of honeydew and its microbial communities have primarily focused on parasitoids, leaving a notable gap in understanding the effects on predators, excluding ants.…”

“…This viscous substance, often overlooked, acts as a mediator, influencing the dynamics between insects and plants (Álvarez‐Pérez et al., 2023; Dyer et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2023). The composition and quantity of honeydew are shaped by various ecological factors, including the insect species involved, the nutritional quality of the plant sap and environmental conditions (Blanchard et al., 2022; Fischer & Shingleton, 2001; Schillewaert et al., 2017). Recognizing honeydew as a crucial aspect of insect–plant relationships opens the door to unravelling its intricate contributions to ecological processes (Álvarez‐Pérez et al., 2023; Tena et al., 2016, 2018).…”

Honeydew, a sugary excretion produced by sap‐feeding insects, plays a pivotal role in shaping intricate interactions between insects and plants. This review explains the multifaceted aspects of honeydew, beginning with an overview of its production mechanisms and factors influencing its variability across insect species and plant hosts. Exploring its composition, we examine the chemical components and nutritional aspects, highlighting variations based on insect species and plant sources. The impact of honeydew on microbial communities is explored, shedding light on its role in influencing the diversity and abundance of microorganisms. Furthermore, the review investigates how honeydew affects pest behaviour and population dynamics, elucidating plant responses to honeydew deposition. In the realm of biocontrol, we examine the intricate relationships between honeydew and natural enemies, considering potential implications for integrated pest management. Beyond these individual components, the paper discusses the broader ecological consequences of honeydew in ecosystems, emphasizing the interconnected relationships between insects, plants and microorganisms. The review concludes by identifying research gaps and suggesting future directions, recognizing the need for further investigation into areas with potential applications for agriculture and ecology. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of honeydew's significance in insect–plant interactions, offering insights for both researchers and practitioners in the field.

“…The composition of this HDH differs between the hives created by the different species of bees, the sap from which it has been collected, the condition of the environment, ant–aphid interactions, and the season of its collection also result in variations of the quality. 59–62 HDH was also explored for wound healing activity. The research investigated the therapeutic effectiveness of sterile HDH in treating lower leg ulcers in 25 individuals suffering from persistent venous leg ulcers.…”

Background: Honey has been used for centuries for its medicinal benefits, where topical treatments in the folklore literature reported its beneficial role in treating different types of wounds. Despite its immense use in wound care, honey’s exact mechanism remains unclear. Purpose: The present study aimed to explore and abridge the gap between honey and its molecular wound healing mechanism. Methods: An extensive literature study has been performed where these activities can be explained due to phenolic compounds, nitric oxide, non-peroxide factors, low pH, high osmolarity, and hydrogen peroxide in honey. Besides that, honey also contains carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, lipids, minerals, and vitamins, contributing to the wound healing potential to some extent. However, these metabolites and constituents differ among different honey varieties due to the distinct nutritional requirements of different species of bees and their collection of nectar from varied sources containing different natural actives. Results: The revival of honey-based wound care research has identified a few probable mechanistic pathways of honey primarily due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory potentials. It also promotes angiogenesis, facilitates reepithelialization, stimulates proliferation of extracellular matrix, reduces neutrophil formation, modulates production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and prevents secondary infection at the wound site. Conclusion: The varieties of honey vary in their qualities, phenolic compounds, and safety for human use. A few of these are currently clinically employed for wound dressings. Moreover, honey can be effective for managing complicated and chronic wounds; more extensive molecular research and safety profiling would be necessary.
