How Do Bees Make Honey

Bees are the only insects which produce food for humans.
The food the honey bee produces is unique, good tasting,
beneficial and nutritious. So, how does a bee make honey?
First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their long
tongue. Their tongue helps them to reach the nectar inside
the flower.
Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac called a
honey stomach. Inside the stomach, special enzyme changes
nectar into two sugars called fructose and glucose.
After the bees return to their hive, they spit the nectar
from its honey stomach into one of the cells.
Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from the
nectar and it turns into honey.
Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap.
Thousands of worker bees can produce over 200 pounds
of honey for the colony in a year. Imagine if there are no
bees on this earth!
