How Do Bees Make Honey?
There are 20,000 plus types of bees but only honey bees make
honey. Bees work together to make honey.
A female worker bee
sucks nectar with a proboscis then she stores it into her honey stomach. At the
hive, hive bees suck up the nectar and slowly split it into two sugars called
glucose and fructose.
After they turn it into two sugars they put it into hexagonal
cells. Then bees flap their wings to control the temperature of the hive.
The bees put wax over the cells to stop honey dripping out.
The beekeeper takes out the cells and cuts off the wax. Then it is put into a
machine that spins really fast so that the honey drips out.
All this makes thick yummy honey to put on your toast with no
added ingredients. Bees work hard to make honey.
