How do honeybees collect nectar?

Answer 1

Landing within a flower and using mouthparts describe the ways that honeybees collect nectar. The nectar is swallowed into the part of the esophagus that is known as the honey stomach. The honey stomach will expand until full, which tells the honeybee to return to the hive and transfer the nectar to a worker bee for processing into honey.

Answer 2

Honey is actually made from the nectar that the bee obtains from flowers. Nectar is the main element in honey-making.

When a bee collects the nectar, the nectar is stored in a special pouch in its body. Once this pouch is full, the bee will return to the hive. On the way to the hive though, the bee adds a type of enzyme to the nectar. This enzyme breaks the complex plant sugar in the nectar into simple sugars - glucose and fructose.

The bee carries the nectar back to the hive and transferred to the worker bees waiting at the hive. These worker bees store the nectar in honey comb cells. In the hive, more enzymes are added to avoid fermentation and bacteria attack.

Finally, the worker bees seal the top of each cell with a thin beeswax cap. This is where the honey will be stored until it is eaten.
Worker bees go from flower to flower drinking the nectar. It doesn't go in to the bee's stomach but into a special storage sac called the honey crop. As she swallows the nectar she adds enzymes to it from special glands which start the process of breaking down the complex sugars like sucrose into simple sugars like glucose and fructose. As she flies back to the hive she is probably carrying around 40 milligrams of nectar (she only weighs 90 mg herself!). At the hive entrance she regurgitates the nectar and passes it to one or more hive bees who then swallow it again, adding more enzymes.

The hive bees take the nectar and put it into a honeycomb cell. By now the enzymes will have done their job of converting the sugars and we should now call it honey, although at the moment it contains too much water: if left like this it would ferment and spoil. The hive bees fan the stored honey with their wings to promote an air flow. This, together with the warmth in the hive, help evaporate water from the honey. When the bees consider the honey is ready, they cover the cell with wax to seal it. When this happens, the beekeeper knows the honey is ready for collection. bees are also cool according 2 me
They have a little tube that they uncurl from out of their mouth, and they collect the pollen then they produce honey. Then they spit it it out in their hive, in the honey comb! DONT CHANGE MY ANSWER< MAKE YOUR OWN!

Bees gather nectar from flowers, which they then take back to hte hive and 'process' it, in their mouths I believe, to turn it into honey.

Bees siphon nectar from flowers, fly it back to the hive, pass some on to other bees to eat, and store the excess in cells in the hive. While the excess nectar was in the bee's body, it was mixed with enzymes that breakdown complex sugars over time. Other bees use their wings to fan air over the cells holding the excess nectar to evaporate the water in it, and when it is dry enough (~17% water), it is what we call honey. Bees then put a wax cap on the cell to protect it. They store honey like this so that they have food available during times when flowers are not blooming.

Only the queen bee mates, and only the drones service the queen.
