Are honey bees made out of honey?

They are called honey bees because they collect nectar to make honey.


What is a cell where honey is stored?

Bees store honey in a honeycomb. The individual hexagonal compartment where honey is stored is called a cell.


How do bees turn pollen into honey?

They don't. Pollen is not used to make honey. Bees collect nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive it is regurgutated into comb cells. The heat of the hive, together with bees fanning the nectar cells with their wings, drive off water from the nectar. The result is honey.


What biotic factors do honey bees interact with?

Abiotic factors are non living things like water, soil, temperature, and rocks. Pathogen levels are one abiotic factor that affects honey bees causing colony deaths. Temperature is another abiotic factor that affects honey bees.


How does honey bees produce honey?

This is a long and amazing "work-journey" of Honey-bees (which are the only type of bees making honey). Honey-bees get nectar by the flowers, and once their stomach is full (after visiting up to 150 flowers); this bee (called worker-bee) turns back to the nest or hive. While getting back to nest, an enzyme (produced by bees) is added to the nectar in order to break the complex plant sugar down into glucose and fructose (easily digested by the bees). When the bees are already in the nest or hive; the nectar will be delivered through their mouths and stored in the honeycomb cells; where the evaporation of moisture will start (bees will fan the nectar with their wings to speed up the drying process). After the nectar will be dried up, each worker bee will seal the upper part of each cell with a thin beeswax cap (which is the place where the honey is stored until we get it to eat).
