The illustration demonstrates how to make honey in small-scale commercial factories.
Overall, the linear process consists of two main phases supported by both bee and human involvement, beginning with bees collecting nectar from flowers and ending with the honey jars being sold for different purposes. Besides, the human phase started when honeycombs have been fully formed.
Regarding the natural phase, bees, standing on petals, gather the nectar before coming back to man-made beehives to deposit raw honey in honeycomb cells which then will be dehydrated and thicker with bee flapping their fan wings over the liquid. After becoming syrupy, the raw honey is still carefully stored in each cell while the bees are cleaning such cells.
Subsequently, artificial steps with the support of human labor force are carried on starting with beekeepers sealing the cells with wax and collecting the honeycombs which are squished to extract the honey liquid to buckets before simultaneously being poured in a wood sump tank. Then, the honey undergoes the heating process at 45-50oC and is gradually released into a sieve tank for filtering unwanted impurities. There is also a connector pipe delivering the liquid from the sieve container to a setting tank where the pure honey is preserved for 2-4 days before being pumped into different glass jars and transported in specific trucks for purchasing.
