The provided diagram illustrates the process by which honey is produced in small-scale commercial production.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that honey production is a man-made, linear process. The process consists of several stages, divided into two stages: bee phase and human phase.
Furthermore, the production process starts with the collection of nectar and culminates with selling honey.
Regarding the bee phase, in the initial stages of the phase, nectar is collected by bees and then delivered to a depositing house where honey is stored. Subsequently, bees dry honey by fanning their wings and keeping cells clean. Once the honey is ready, cells are sealed with wax by bees, completing the part of the process.
The human phase begins when honeycombs are gathered, requiring workers to wear a full-faced hat and gloves to avoid attacks by bees. Following that, these combs are pressed into a liquid of honey, which is poured into a sump tank. Next, the liquid is heated between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius before being filtered by a sieve tank to remove impurities. The filtered liquid is stored in a settling tank for 2-4 days. Finally, the honey is packed in jars and distributed for sale.
