Honey doesn't come out of a bee.

Bees collect nectar and hold it in a special 'honey stomach', which is separate from the normal digestive tract. When she returns to the hive the bee regurgitates the nectar and passes it to one of the hive bees who takes it up to the comb, and puts it into one of the cells. It is warm within the hive, and bees also fan the nectar in order to evaporate off the excess water from it. The result is honey.

When the honey is ready the bees cover the cell with a wax cap to preserve it.

they regurgitate it which means it's not digested.

ans 2.

Regurgitate implies that it comes from the bee's stomach. In fact the bee carries nectar back to the hive in cheek pouches. Pollen is carried back stuck onto hairs on the bee's body.

The bee unloads these two raw materials at the hive, where they are processed into honey, beeswax and royal jelly as required.
