Honey Dew
a viscid saccharine exudation which is often found in warm dry weather on the leaves and stems of plants, occurring on both trees and herbaceous plants. It is often, but not always, associated with the presence of aphides, cocci, and other insects which feed on the juices of plants, and its flow is ascribed to their punctures; but the rupture of the tissues may be due to warm weather, when for the production of sap the superabundance of sugar is thus thrown off. Orange and lemon and coffee plantations sometimes suffer great injury from the abundance of honey dew.
