What happens to honeycombs after the bees?

How do bees deposit honey into the comb?
Bees deposit honey into the comb by using their proboscis to transfer the nectar they’ve collected from flowers. Once inside the hive, they regurgitate the nectar into the hexagonal wax cells of the comb. The bees then fan their wings to evaporate excess water from the nectar, thickening it into honey, which is sealed with a wax cap for storage and preservation. This process is crucial for providing food for the colony, especially during the winter months.
How do honey bees make honey combs?
Honey bees create honeycombs by secreting beeswax from glands on their abdomen. They then mold the beeswax into the hexagonal cells of the comb using their mouths and legs. The comb serves as a storage unit for honey, pollen, and eggs within the hive.

They also use harmless smoke on the bees so they stay out of the way and don't sting the beekeepers.

Which part of the hexagonal honey comb does the bee deposit the honey?
The honeybee does not deposit honey. The bee deposits nectar collected from flowers, (regurgatated as liquid spit) into the comb. It sits on the bottom of the comb and the bees flutter their wings to evaporate the water out until it is the consistency of honey as we know it.
