The diagram illustrates the process in which honey is produced in small-scale commercial manufactures.
The production is divided into 2 main phases, beginning with the collection of nectar and ending with the sale of honey.
In the first step of the bee phase, bees gather nectar in the flowers and store it in their hives. Then, nectar is dried by fan wings. The last step in the bee phase is when cells are cleaned and sealed with a layer of wax to form a honeycomb.
Workers assemble honeycombs from the hives, which is the first step of the human phase. Subsequently, honeycomb is pressed into liquid by a large machine and the liquid is transferred into a rectangular sump tank, where its temperature is maintained below 50 degrees. Then, workers filter the honey liquid through a sieve tank to eliminate dirt. Before the honey liquid has been settled in the tank for 2-4 days, workers will pour it into small jars. Finally, trucks may transport these small jars to consuming areas.
