What does a honey bee make honey from?

Answer 1

Honeybees collect sweet nectar from flowers and bring it back to their hives. There it is stored for future use, because its sugar provides honeybees with the energy they need. The nectar is stored as honey, which is a thick, concentrated form of nectar that has been converted in the bees' digestive tracts. Honey is stored in little compartments or cells in the hive, which the bees seal over with beeswax which they also produce. We call this honey-filled wax honeycomb. Beekeepers take honeycomb from the hive (leaving enough behind for the bees), using the wax for candle making and the honey to sweeten all kinds of foods.
they collect pollen.

Answer 2

A honeybee first travels to a flower, where it collects nectar, which is a mixture of mainly sucrose and water. Then, enzymes within the bee turn the sucrose into glucose and fructose. When moisture is evaporated from this substance, 18% water remains, and what is left is known as honey.

Answer 3

I would explain it in a simple way: Honey bees collect pollen and nectar in the spring when most flowers and plants are in bloom. They use their long, tubelike tongues like straws (called proboscis) to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their stomachs and carry it to the beehive. While inside the bee's stomach for about half an hour, the nectar mixes with the proteins and enzymes produced by the bees, converting the nectar into honey. The bees then drop the honey into the beeswax comb, which are hexagonal cells made of wax produced by the bees, and repeat the process until the combs are full. To prepare for long-term storage, the bees fan their wings to evaporate and thicken the honey (note: nectar is 80% water and honey is about 14-18% water). When this is done, the bees cap the honeycomb with wax and move on to the next empty comb, starting all over again. So, in a nutshell, the honey we eat is flower nectar that honey bees have collected, regurgitated and dehydrated to enhance its nutritional properties.

Answer 4

more bees

After they have made more bees they will make honey, wax and propolis.

Answer 5

Wax, which they produce from glands specifically for this purpose.

Answer 6

The bees make the honey, not the beekeeper.

Answer 7
