Bees collect nectar from flowers by using their long, tube-shaped tongues called proboscis to suck the sweet liquid from the flower. They then store the nectar in a specialized stomach called the honey stomach before returning to the hive.

Bees collect nectar from flowers by using their long tube-shaped tongues called proboscis to suck up the nectar from deep inside the flowers. They then store the nectar in a special "honey stomach" separate from their own digestive stomach to bring back to the hive.
