What is sap
The resin is called the resin of conifers - pine, fir, cedar, spruce, larch and other trees. Another name is turpentine. It is a colorless, viscous mixture - a high-density liquid with a pleasant pine scent. The resin is produced by the tree itself and penetrates outward through the resin passages.
Initially, it is less viscous and transparent. If the trunk is damaged, the resin flows out, oxidizes in air and quickly thickens, which occurs due to the evaporation of water. Its color changes to orange or dark brown, and the surface can become clogged due to adhesion of dust, leaf debris and other fragments.

How to check honey with resin for authenticity and how to store
A characteristic sign of the presence of resin is an easily recognizable coniferous smell. It can combine woody notes and faint shades of turpentine. The presence of resin also affects the taste - tart tones, unusual for honey, are noticeable in it. The color of such a product is also slightly different from ordinary honey - it is darker. Although the color largely depends on the variety, this is why such a sign is not reliable.
To finally make sure of the authenticity of the product, you can open the jar, take a spoonful of the mixture and evaluate the viscosity. Then leave to lie in the air for 15–20 minutes. During this time, the product will become thicker. The more resin is in the composition, the more dense the consistency will be. A thin coating with a pleasant gloss may appear on the surface.
The presence of resin in the mixture increases the storage time. The shelf life is several years. Standard conditions are room temperature (+ 20–25 ° C), dark place, moderate humidity. You need to keep honey with resin in a closed glass or ceramic container. The use of metal containers is not recommended as some substances can interact with metal.
