The given graph illustrates the procedure of producing honey by a small scale business.

Overall, it is evident that manufacturing honey involves seven distinct steps. Beginning with the gathering of nectars by bees, and ending with the honey being delivered to stores for selling.

Initially, in the bee phases , the nectars are collected by these insects from some particular species of flowers. Then the bees deposit the honey into their hives, which are constructed by humans in a three-story house shape. Inside the hive, some bees use their wings to fan the honey, in order to dry it. This process also helps to remove any foreign substances from the honey cells, ensuring that the honey remains clean.

Additionally, it comes to the human phase where humans seal the cells with wax and cut the honeycombs from the hives. The honeycombs are then placed in a pressing machine to extract the liquid honey. This honey is moved into a sump tank, where it is heated to a moderate temperature of around 45-50 degrees Celsius. The heated honey passes through a sieve to remove any dirt. It is then transferred to a settling tank, where it remains for 2-4 days to allow any remaining particles to settle. After this settling period, the honey is poured into jars and prepared for sale.
