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 on to other worker bees through regurgitation. These worker bees then further process the nectar by ingesting and regurgitating it multiple times, breaking down the complex sugars in the nectar into simpler sugars. Finally, the processed nectar is stored in honeycomb cells and fanned by the bees' wings to remove excess moisture, eventually turning it into the thick, sweet substance we know as honey.
