蜂蜜

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 蜂蜜 (はちみつ) is a noun for honey made by bees from flower nectar.
• Basic usage: It is used when adding honey to tea or describing honey left in a jar.
  • 温かい紅茶に蜂蜜を少し入れた。 — I added a little honey to the warm black tea.
  • 瓶の底に黄金色の蜂蜜が残っている。 — Golden honey remained at the bottom of the jar.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Honey as a substance
  • 蜂蜜 normally names a substance rather than an individual countable object, so quantity can appear in a phrase such as 蜂蜜を少し.
