How do bees make honey?
 

Introduction.

Did you know New Zealand can sell 30 kg of honey per hive?They also have two tummies, one for food and one for honey.

Collecting nectar.
Bees prefer to collect nectar in spring because that's when the flowers are in bloom. They suck the nectar out using the proboscis, Proboscis is a scientific word for their straw like tongue. They store the honey in one of their tummies while returning to hive.
 

Returningto hive.
They return to the hive when their stomachs are full. They pass the nectar into each worker bees mouth until it becomes sticky honey. Then they store it in honeycomb.
 

Turning into honey.
The worker bees flap their wings to dry out the honey, once the honey is dry they seal it with a wax lid.
 

Conclusion.
The cleaver bees make the delicious honey and humans sell it around the world.
