'Honey' means the natural sweet substance produced by Apis mellifera bees from the nectar of plants or from secretions of living parts of plants or excretions of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which the bees collect, transform by combining with specific substances of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in honeycombs to ripen and mature. Honey consists essentially of different sugars, predominantly fructose and glucose, as well as other substances such as organic acids, enzymes and solid particles derived from honey collection, including pollen, while none of these substances and particles can be considered an ingredient of honey."

'Beeswax' means lipid natural matter prepared from secretions of the wax glands of Apis mellifera worker bees and used in manufacturing honeycombs. 2. 'Royal jelly' means the natural substance secreted by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of Apis mellifera nurse worker bees, designed to feed the larvae and the queen and to which no other substance may be added. Royal jelly is produced by bees which are only fed with their natural foods (pollen, nectar and honey) during the royal jelly production time. 3. 'Propolis' means the substance collected from certain plants and subsequently transformed by Apis mellifera worker bees, to which their own secretions (mainly wax and salivary secretions) are added in order to use it as mortar. 4. 'Pollen' means a compact substance, more or less spherical, resulting from the agglutination of the male gametes of flowers by means of nectar, salivary secretions and the mechanical action of the third pair of legs of Apis mellifera worker bees, which is collected and transformed in the form of balls of pollen in order to be deposited and subsequently stored in the hive, and to which no other substance may be added. 5. 'Honeycomb pollen or bee bread' means balls of pollen scattered by bees in honeycomb cells which have undergone certain natural transformations through the presence of enzymes and micro- organisms; this pollen can be covered with honey."
