HOW BEES MAKE HONEY

They store the honey they get in their honey stomach, different from their food stomach.

They collect Nectar from the blossom by sucking it out with their tongues.

Once their honey stomach

is full, they pass

it to other bees to chew

it for about half an hour.

Until it gradually turns into honey, they mix it with the enzymes in their mouth, while collecting nectar

Then the bees store it in honey comb cells which is made of wax like tiny jars.

The honey is a little wet, so they fan it with their wings making it more sticky.

When ready, they

seal the cell with a

wax lid to keep it

​​​​​​clean.
