Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers using their long, tube-shaped tongues. They store the nectar in their "honey stomachs" and return to the hive where they pass it to other worker bees through a process of regurgitation and enzymatic activity. The bees then evaporate excess water from the nectar by fanning it with their wings, which thickens the liquid into honey. Finally, the honey is stored in honeycomb cells where it will be capped with beeswax for storage and consumption.
