Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers using their long, tube-shaped tongues. They store the nectar in their "honey stomachs" and then return to the hive where they pass the nectar to other worker bees through regurgitation. The worker bees then chew the nectar and place it into honeycomb cells. They fan the nectar with their wings to help evaporate the water content, which thickens the liquid into honey. Finally, the honey is capped with beeswax until it is ready to be consumed.
