Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers using their long, tube-shaped tongues called proboscis. They store the nectar in their honey stomachs and return to the hive. Inside the hive, they pass the nectar to other worker bees through regurgitation. These worker bees then further process the nectar by chewing it and adding enzymes to it. The mixture is then stored in honeycomb cells where it is left to ripen and thicken into honey through the evaporation of water.
