Honey
This is the honey page.You will find out how much work a worker bee
has to do to make honey. Read on about honey, it's so sweet!
 To make honey, worker bees go to find flowers. When
a worker bee finds a flower, she takes her straw-like tongue and sucks up
the nectar. She stores the nectar in her honey stomach. She goes back to
the hive and gives the nectar to another worker bee. That worker bee gives
the honey to another bee called a house bee. The house bee stores the nectar
in a honeycomb. She then fans the honey with her wings to evaporate most
of the water from it. That is why honey is not runny. A seal of wax is put
on the honeycomb to let it age and turn into honey!
