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.
