how honey is obtained

A thick, golden liquid produced by industrious bees, honey is made using the nectar of flowering plants and is saved inside the beehive for eating during times of scarcity. But how do bees make honey?
Nectar — a sugary liquid — is extracted from flowers using a bee's long, tube-shaped tongue and stored in its extra stomach, or "crop." While sloshing around in the crop, the nectar mixes with enzymes that transform its chemical composition and pH, making it more suitable for long-term storage.
When a honeybee returns to the hive, it passes the nectar to another bee by regurgitating the liquid into the other bee's mouth. This regurgitation process is repeated until the partially digested nectar is finally deposited into a honeycomb.

Process of how Honey is obtained:
- Bees collect floral nectar, which is broken down into simple sugars and stored in honeycombs.
- Evaporation is caused by the honeycomb's architecture and the bees' incessant fanning of their wings, which results in sweet liquid honey.
- The nectar collected by the bees determines the color and flavor of honey.
