The apiculture process begins with the honey bees that collect nectar from flowers from which honey is prepared. Bees basically collect nectar and pollen. Pollen is the source of protein that is required by the bees for the development of their breed whereas nectar is the carbohydrate that provides them with energy. Honey bees tend to store this nectar in their honey sac when they are foraging and in this sac the enzyme invertase changes the complex sugars into simple sugars known as mono-saccharides. One the bees return to their hives they will disgorge the nectar solution that is partially converted and then give it to the other bees.
