How do bees make honey?

As a honeybee buzzes from flower to flower, it collects a sweet liquid called nectar. The bee stores the nectar in a part of its stomach. There, the nectar mixes with proteins and enzymes to convert it into honey. Back at the hive, the bee transfers the honey to a worker bee. This bee feeds the liquid honey to bee larvae or transfers it to the cells — called honeycombs — in the hive. The bee uses its wings to fan the honey in the comb. This evaporates the water in the honey and makes it thicker. Once the honey is thick, the worker bee caps the honeycomb with wax to store it for use later.
