Answer:

Honey starts as flower nectar collected by bees, which gets broken down into simple sugars stored inside the honeycomb. The design of the honeycomb and constant fanning of the bees' wings causes evaporation, creating sweet liquid honey. Honey's color and flavor vary based on the nectar collected by the bees.

  • Honey bees collect nectar to make honey and store it as food because it gives them energy and keeps the hive warm in the winter.
  • Honey bees, fortunately, produce more honey than the colony need, so beekeepers must gather and bottle the extra.
  • Bees gather 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 delicious liquid honey.
  • The nectar gathered by the bees determines the colour and flavour of honey.
  • Honey derived from orange blossom nectar, for example, may have a light tint, but honey made from apricot nectar may have a darker colour.
