Answer:

  1. Honey starts as flower nectar collected by bees, which gets broken down into simple sugars stored inside the honeycomb.
  2. The design of the honeycomb and constant fanning of the bees' wings causes evaporation, creating sweet liquid honey.
  3. Honey's colour and flavour varies based on the nectar collected by the bees.
  4. Invertase, amylase, and diastase act with gastric acid to hydrolyze sucrose into a mixture of fructose and glucose.
  5. The process takes as long as 30 minutes, and the bees work together regurgitating and digesting and then depositing the honey at approximately 20% moisture into the honeycomb cells.
  6. House bees take the nectar inside the colony and pack it away in hexagon-shaped beeswax honey cells.
  7. They then turn the nectar into honey by drying it out using a warm breeze made with their wings. Once the honey has dried out, they put a lid over the honey cell using fresh beeswax – kind of like a little honey jar
