Best Answer

When she returns from foraging, a honey bee will regurgitate droplets of nectar and pass them to the hive bees who then take them up to the storage cells on the comb and put the nectar in. Other bees will fan the nectar with their wings, and this, together with the temperature in the hive (around 35C), evaporates water from the nectar, turning it into honey.

The hive bees also clean pollen off the returning forager, and take the pollen from the pollen baskets on her hind legs, and store this in other cells on the comb.
