Simple Present
Bees are the only insects which produce food for humans. The
food the honey bee produces is unique, good tasting, beneficial and
nutritious. So, how does a bee make honey?
First, bees drink nectar from flowers using their long tongue. Their
tongue helps them to reach the nectar inside the flower.
Then, bees store the nectar in a special sac called a honey
stomach. Inside the stomach, special enzyme changes nectar into
two sugars called fructose and glucose.
After the bees return to their hive, they spit the nectar from its
honey stomach into one of the cells.
Next, the heat in the hive evaporate water from the nectar and it
turns into honey.
Finally, the bees cover the cell with a wax cap.
Thousands of worker bees can produce over 200 pounds of honey
for the colony in a year. Imagine if there are no bees on this earth!
