How do bees make honey

How do bees make honey a Step-by-Step 

When the weather gets warmer and flowers start to bloom, honeybees will leave their hives in search of flowers. The actual process for making fresh honey goes like this: 

Once they find a flower, they will use their long tongue like a straw to suck nectar, a sugary juice, out of the plant.  

The nectar is stored in a second stomach, also known as the “honey stomach.”  

After they have filled up their second stomach, the bees will return to their hive and start to pass the nectar through their mouths to other bees.  

These bees will chew on the nectar for about 30 minutes. 

Then they pass it along to another bee!  

As the nectar is passed from bee to bee, it is turned into honey.  

Once the nectar becomes honey, the honeybees will store it in honeycomb cells, which act as little jars made of wax. 

 The bees then flap their wings over the honey to make it thicker and more like syrup instead of sweet juice.  

Once the honey is ready, the bees will seal the cell using a wax lid to store it for later and use it for raising bees . 

At this point, skilled beekeepers can take some of the finished honey from the hive, taking care to not harm or damage the colony.
