how do bees make honey by unknown VI - A

start

bees suck nectar from flowers using its proboscis

This nectar is stored in their crop (just above their stomach)

the enzymes in the saliva mixes with the nectar

This worker bee then vomits this mixture to the house bees where more enzymes are added

The sugar molecules in the nectar change form and a watery honey is formed due to excess water present in the nectar

house bee releases this ripening nectar to her jaws thus exposing the nectar to warm dry air in the hive

Bees fan with their wings to increase air flow through the hive, helping in lowering the water content of the nectar

When the moisture content of the nectar has drops to 20% then honey is formed
