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.
