Is honey better than sugar?

 Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance produced by bees and some related insects.
Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants (floral nectar) or other insects (aphid honeydew ) through regurgitation , enzymatic activity, and water evaporation. Honey is stored in wax structures called honeycombs.
The questions and belief of many is if honey is better substitute for sugar.
It is commonly believed that honey is a healthier alternative to sugar. 
The answer may be no; honey is a free sugar too.
The word sugar is believed by many to be table sugar,but it is a blanket term for sweet-tasting, energy dense carbohydrates. Table sugar consists of two simple sugars bonded together. These simple sugars are glucose and fructose. Honey is also made up of glucose and fructose.
Honey, maple syrup, agave nectar and rice malt syrup are all in the ‘free sugars’ club and need to be restricted. Free sugars are also found in fruit juices, as they do not tend to contain the fibre found in whole fruit and vegetables.
Is not different.
