Synthesis Of Bees

How Honey is Made Everyone knows where honey comes from, but what many people are not aware of is the process of how it is made. Bees are responsible for making this thick, golden liquid using the nectar from flowers. Nectar is a sugary substance that bees extract from flowers using their long tongues. The nectar is then stored in what is called their extra stomach. In their stomach, the nectar mixes around with enzymes that transform the nectar into a substance that is able to last longer in the hive. When the bee returns to the hive, full of nectar, it then goes on to pass the nectar to another bee by puking the liquid into the other bee’s mouth. This process repeats until the nectar is finally placed into a honeycomb. After being placed in a comb the nectar looks nothing like the golden honey people see today. It is not as thick in this stage because the water has not yet been evaporated from it. To speed up the process of evaporation, worker bees tirelessly fan the honeycomb with their wings. Once most of the water is evaporated from the honeycomb, the bee encloses the liquid within it. Using a small amount of liquid from their abdomen, which eventually turns into beeswax, the bee caps the honey in the honeycomb. Once hidden from air and water, honey can be stored away until the beekeeper is ready for extraction. …show more content…
