What makes the honey dense?
Honey is naturally dense due to its high sugar content, specifically fructose and glucose. Bees extract nectar from flowers and process it into honey by evaporating excess water, leading to a thick and viscous consistency. The sugars in honey also have a tendency to crystallize over time, further contributing to its density.
Does honey evaporate?
Honey does not evaporate like water because it is a highly concentrated sugar solution. Its low water content and high sugar content make it very resistant to evaporation. Instead, honey tends to crystallize over time due to the high sugar concentration.
How honey formed?
Flowers produce nectar to attract bees to assist them in their pollination. Bees drink the nectar and bring it back to their hive. Bees regurgitate the nectar into honey-comb cells for storage. This is honey. Humans and bears raid the bee's hive and steal their honey away. Honey is bottled and sold at the supermarket for filthy lucre.
Why does honey get thick?
Honey gets thick due to its high sugar content, which causes it to naturally crystallize over time. Factors such as temperature, moisture levels, and the type of flowers the bees collected nectar from can also affect the crystallization process. Heating honey can temporarily thin it out, but it will likely thicken again as it cools.
How is honey formed?
honey is formed by: 1.the bee taking nectar from flowers 2.bee returning to hive and passing honey (with mouth) from bee to bee 3.a bee placing the honey into honeycomb and putting a wax seal over it 4.waiting for the extra water in the honey to evaporate how honey is formed how honey is formed
Are honey bees over populated?
No, the more honey bees the more honey for us
How does flapping of bee's wings help improve the concentration of sugar in the honey cells?
Flapping of bee's wings helps to evaporate water from nectar in honey cells, leading to a higher concentration of sugar. This evaporation process reduces the water content in the nectar, creating a more concentrated sugar solution that eventually becomes honey.

What kind of bees are in a beehive?
Honey bees (European originally), although Killer bees will take over a hive.
Do bees like fragrensed honey or regular honey more?
Bees prefer regular honey over fragranced honey. Fragranced honey can disrupt the natural pheromones in the beehive and may cause confusion among the bees. It's best to keep honey in its natural state to avoid any potential issues with the bees.
What is the advantage of buying farm honey over wild honey?
You don't have to fight the bees for farm honey.
Does honey evaporate?

Can bees make honey?
Bees make honey from nectar which they collect from flowers. Enzymes in the bee's saliva help break down the more complex sugars in the nectar, for example, sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose. They then put the nectar into honeycomb cells. Worker bees maintain a flow of air through the hive by fanning with their wings and this, together with the warmth in the hive evaporates water from the nectar. Once the bees think the water level is low enough the bees cover over the honey cell with a cap of wax to preserve it. This is when the honey is ready to collect.
What animals can sense a threat from over 50 ft of more from their nest?
AFRICANIZED HONEY BEES or KILLER BEES
What bees feed the bee larvae?
usally they keep them in the countryside where more flowers bloom, so the bees can make more honey The question was "what do beekeepers feed their bees". This could be interpreted in two ways. The original answer would be more correct if it were in response to the question "What do beekeepers let their bees eat?" However, if the question is in fact "What do beekeepers feed to their bees, the answer is: Actually, beekeepers most often feed their bees a sugar/water mixture comprised of somewhere between 1 part sugar and 2 parts water, and straight 1 to 1. This mixture is fed when not enough honey remains in the hive to support the health of the colony over the entire winter season. (See http://www.mainebee.com/articles/march2001.php)
What does a honey bee make honey from?
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.
What habitat does the honey bee live in?
honey bees habitat is all across the world. the honey bee started in a tropical climate. we believe that honey bees were from central Africa. now you find them all over the woods, fields and in gardens.
