What Wikipedia says

Melezitose, also spelled melecitose and melicitose, is a trisaccharide sugar that occurs in the honeydew of many sap trees such as larch, lime tree, poplar, and Douglas fir, and also in honey. It is produced enzymatically by many plant sap eating lice, such as Cinara pilicornis.
