How do bees make honey
Western Honey Bees are responsible for pollinating three quarters of the world's fruit and vegetable plants, and making the delicious honey we enjoy. One Honey Bee hive can produce between 1-2 Kg of Honey a day! If bees would be never lived people would me starving right now
First the bees need to find a suitable food source. Then the bees dive in head first with their adapted tongue and collect the nectar. The bees collect nectar in their honey stomach. A single bee will have to go to over one thousand flowers to fill their stomach up. While the nectar is in their stomach the enzymes break down the nectar into honey.
After, the bee’s go to the beehive and vomit the nectar into another bee's mouth then that bee vomits the nectar into another bee's mouth. It sounds really disgusting but they make honey like that. After that they eventually spit the nectar into the honey come,and then dry it off with their wings.
Then the beekeeper comes and collects the yummy honey that the intelligent bees make. And that is how bees make honey.
