Honey production begins with bees collecting nectar from flowers. The nectar is stored in their stomachs and transported back to the hive. Inside the hive, worker bees regurgitate the nectar and pass it to other worker bees, who chew it for about half an hour. This process breaks down the sugars in the nectar, making it easier to convert into honey. Once the nectar is transformed, the bees deposit it into honeycomb cells. They then fan their wings to evaporate excess water, thickening the nectar into honey. Finally, the honey is capped with a wax seal, preserving it for future use as food for the bee colony.
