The bonds in this molecule are covalent (not ionic). But note that there is a special bond: "the molecule consists of two monosaccharides, α-glucose and fructose, joined by a glycosidic bond between carbon atom 1 of the glucose unit and carbon atom 2 of the fructose unit."

All bonds are single (not triple) covalent bonds. The "glycosidic" bond is also covalent.
