How do bees produce honey?

Transcript

Bees produce honey through several steps. First, forager bees collect nectar using their proboscis and store it in their honey stomach. During the flight back, enzymes begin breaking down sugars. Once in the hive, the nectar is regurgitated and shared among house bees, who continue the enzymatic process and reduce water content through evaporation. Finally, the thickened nectar is stored in honeycomb cells and capped with beeswax once the moisture level is appropriate, resulting in honey ready for consumption.
