 How do Honey bees make honey?

Firstly, honey bees consume nectar from flowering- plants. This is the main ingredient for the honey bee to make honey, through which they suck up the nectar droplets through the substance of the flower which is often called nectary.Honey bee

Then a process is there which is called inversion as in this when nectar reaches a honey bee stomach then it converts into complex sugar substances. Then a worker honey bee returns to a colony, then it may pass the nectar to another bee also known as the house- bee and this could be done within 7 to 12 days.

After this, they take the nectar in the colony and store it in a hexagon-shaped beeswax honey cell. Once, this nectar gets stored then they dry it up to make honey and give it a warm shield through their wings. After this, once the honey dries up they may put a lid on honey cells of fresh beeswax which is a kind of little honey jar.

 Types of Honey bee: –

Lets, talk about Types of  Honey bee. There are three types of adult bees such as workers, drones, and a queen and some details on them are –

1) Worker honeybee – it is a female Honey bee that is unable to reproduce. Their main work is to collect nectar from flowering plants as well as they have to look after a queen, housekeepers as well as larvae, etc. they mostly do all the work inside and out in their hives.

2) Drone bees – they are male bees which are mainly used for mating with the queen. As they do not reproduce, do not collect nectar, do not work on anything, etc. they are kept in the hives just for mating with the queen. Also, worker bees kept in touch with them in order to fix a mating with the new queen.  

3) A queen bee – queen Honey bee means mother of all the bees. Her main work is to reproduce eggs and fertilize larvae, she does not work on anything as she is kept in the hive only and other housekeeping bees or worker bees are used to feed her. As all types of species and through this, she chooses different types of species and through mating with drones, she can reproduce. This is the biggest thing in the bees colony, therefore she is known as the queen of their hives.
