Bees make honey from nectar which they collect from flowers. Enzymes in the bee's saliva help break down the more complex sugars in the nectar, for example, sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose. They then put the nectar into honeycomb cells. Worker bees maintain a flow of air through the hive by fanning with their wings and this, together with the warmth in the hive evaporates water from the nectar. Once the bees think the water level is low enough the bees cover over the honey cell with a cap of wax to preserve it. This is when the honey is ready to collect.
