Honey
Honey is first collected as nectar out of the depths on the flower. The bee sucks it up through her proboscis (like a long tongue.) The nectar is mixed with the bee’s enzymes and then stored in a special honey sac. When the bee arrives back at the hive she hands off the sweet nectar to a house bee. The younger house bee will deposit it in the combs for drying. The watery liquid will be fanned with bee wings until it has reached a state of less than 17% water.
