The fascinating process of making honey begins when the
bees feast on flowers, collecting the flower nectar in their mouths. This nectar
then mixes with special enzymes in the bees' saliva, an alchemical process that
turns it into honey. The bees carry the honey back to the hive where they
deposit it into the cells of the hive's walls. The fluttering of their wings
provides the necessary ventilation to reduce the moisture's content making it
ready for consumption. |
