The process of making honey is nothing short of impressive. It begins as nectar, a sugary liquid that is produced by flowers. Then, bees play an integral role in its formation by collecting that nectar, bringing it to their hives, and breaking it down into simple sugars. This process occurs both in the bees' stomachs and through the mouth-to-mouth passing of the honey before it is deposited into the honeycomb. Using their wings, the bees reduce the water content within the broken-down sugars even further and the result is delicious honey.
