Today, we will talk about how bees makehoney

There are five steps to how honey is made.

The first step in making honey iscollecting nectar, the main ingredient of honey. Bees usually do this in thespring, when flowers are in bloom. They use their long tongue, called aproboscis, to suck out honey. This nectar is stored in the honey stomach,separate from the regular stomach. Once the honey stomach is full, the bee goesback to the hive.

Second, when they get back to the hive,they pass the honey through their mouths to other worker bees, who keep thehoney in their own honey stomach for about half an hour. During this time, thenectar mixes with proteins and enzymes in their stomach. The worker bees passthat mixture to other bees, who continue to mix the nectar with other proteinsand enzymes, so the nectar eventually becomes honey.

Third, once the nectar has become honey,it is stored in honeycomb cells, which are like jars made of beeswax. Thehoneycomb cells are shaped like hexagons, and were made by the bees. The beeskeep dropping off honey into these cells until they are full.

The fourth step in making honey is toevaporate and thicken the honey. The honey is still wet at this stage, so thebees fan the honey with their wings so it dries out and becomes more sticky.This helps to keep the honey from going bad.

The final step in making honey, now thatthe honey is ready, is for the bees to seal the honeycomb cells with a wax lid,making sure it stays clean. Then, the bees move on to another empty honeycombcell to repeat the process.
