​What is pine honey
Pine honey Turkish: çam bal? is a type of honeydew honey. [1] It is a sweet and spicy honey, with some woody notes, a resinous fragrance and light amber color. It is a common breakfast dish in Turkey, where it is drizzled over yoghurt and eaten with bread.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_honey

Pine honey became gradually accepted as honey of good quality. It has no incisive taste or aroma, a very low tendency to crystallize is very thick, stores well, and is produced from pine forests far away from any environmental pollution. It is less sensitive to heating because of its low rate of forming HMF. These characteristics are very desirable in monofloral honeys and also in blends. http://www.carfu.org/?p=524

characteristic of pine honey
The most important characteristic of pine honey is that it can be kept for longer durations without its texture corrupts or crystallizes. Its colour is darker than the flower honey. Pine honey has a wider range of usage area in various products in medicine and food industries and it is a product with major export potential. Pine honey with its dark and misty colour has a distinctive feature. Glucose and fructose content of the pine honey is quite low compared to flower honey. Its taste is less sweet and less bitter than flower honey. Pine honey contains more hypha and spor in its content and the characteristics of the hypha contained in Turkey and Greece pine honey are unique which do not exist in anywhere in the world. The positive impact and benefit of the pine honey to respiratory and digestion systems have been accepted by the medical sciences. Pine honey contains more enzymes, amino acids and minerals than flower honey. It has an antioxidant impact. For healthy development it is quite useful to consume pine honey against iron deficiencies and such conditions occurring in children due to inadequate nutrition. Pine honey has a weight-loss feature provided that it is consumed in a glass of lukewarm water every morning on an empty stomach. http://www.marmarisbalevi.com.tr/en/pine-honey

Many pine tree honey benefits include the following:
1. Stronger antioxidant properties.
Unlike the more common honey from floral plants, pine tree honey has higher levels of antioxidants.  These serve to protect the body from free radicals that cause aging and other dreaded diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer.  Regular consumption of pine tree honey is a good way to enjoy a healthier and sweeter life.
2. A very good potassium source.
A potassium-rich diet protects the vital organs of the body, including the brain and the heart. It helps lower blood pressure, thus minimizing the risk of strokes. It also strengthens the bones, helps in reducing the risk of developing kidney stones, and guards against osteoporosis.
3. Pine honey contains other minerals like elemental iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous.
All these minerals promote the well-being of the body and ensure that bodily functions are maintained.

Just one teaspoon of this miracle food can soothe the throat and provide immediate comfort. Added to a cup of hot tea, it safely decongests the nasal passages and provides the much needed relief.
What is the difference between flower/blossom honey and honeydew honey?
While the composition of honeydew honey varies by the type of insect and plant, just as the composition of blossom honey varies by the type of blossom, there are some common differences. In general, honeydew honey is higher in minerals and amino acids as well as higher molecular weight sugars (oligosaccharides) in particular, melezitose and raffinose. Oligosaccharides are prebiotics that have a beneficial effect on bacteria in the digestive system. It tends to be darker, less sweet, less acidic and resists crystallization when compared to honey. Honeydew honey has higher electrical conductivity and ash content and tends to remain liquid and resist crystallization because of high fructose and low glucose levels, as well as a low glucose to water ratio. There has been some research that indicates that honeydew honey also has higher than average antibiotic properties due to higher levels of Glucose Oxidase which leads to the production of Hydrogen Peroxide. http://www.honeytraveler.com/types-of-honey/honeydew-forest-honey/
NOTE:
Organic honey varieties are not subjected to pasteurization process, they are in raw honey status. Because it is a raw honey, it  may crystallize after a while, indicating that it is normal and raw honey .The fact that the flower honey is crystallized is the most important assurance that it is a real flower bear. Balloons that have been added with syrup or fed with syrup do not crystallize in any way. Crystallization temperature of the honey seems to be about 12 degrees, when the temperature is much below this temperature it will crystallize. We recommend that you consume your crystallized honey with this state, if not you can turn it into its old forms by putting it in a bowl filled with hot water.
