How do bees make honey?


The bee extracts the nectar from flowers through its long tube like tongue and stores it in its honey sac which contains the enzymes. After the honey bee returns to its hive, it passes the nectar to other workers bees which  keep on regurgitating it for further processing and then finally deposit it into the honey comb cells. After that the bees convert the viscous liquid into thick honey by fanning the honeycomb, which causes the water content to evaporate quickly. Finally, the cells containing honey are sealed with the bee wax.
