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.
