The chart above illustrates how honey is manufactured by bees through a natural process involving seven steps. All stages of the process are clearly illustrated starting from hive construction to the final stage when the floral nectar having been processed and can be extracted for consumption.
First of all, bees make hexagon-shaped cells in their hive to store the sweet liquid obtained from flowers. They then search for suitable plants to collect nectar from. When bees locate appropriate flowers, they approach them to extract nectar, which is subsequently transported back to the hive and deposited inside cells created earlier.
On completing the first stages bees move to the nectar cooling process. For this purpose, they apply their wings as natural fan blades. With their wings flapping they cool down the nectar stored in the hive cells. The last step is water evaporation, when an excess of fluid begins converting into the gaseous state as bees wave their wings. After that, this liquid, processed and partly deprived of water, can be considered a finished product or natural honey. The resulting substance, now transformed into ordinary honey with reduced water content, is collected and distributed to stores. This is the process of honey production.
