Honey bees are able to produce wax from a gland on their body. By sticking the flakes of wax together they produce the walls of the cells that make up a honeycomb.

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).
