How bees make honey?
Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and bringing it back to the hive. The nectar is stored in the bees' honey stomachs and mixed with enzymes to break down the complex sugars into simpler ones. The bees then regurgitate the mixture into honeycomb cells, where it is further broken down through evaporation. This process reduces the water content of the nectar and creates the thick, sweet substance we know as honey. The bees then fan their wings to evaporate even more moisture, and then seal the cells with wax to preserve the honey. The process of making honey involves the collective efforts of many bees and can take several days to complete. Once the honey is stored in the comb, it is used as a food source for the colony.
