🐝 Meet the Honeybee!
The amazing little creature that makes honey is called a honeybee! 🐝 Honeybees are tiny insects that live together in a big family called a bee colony. They build their home inside a beehive, where they make and store their delicious honey.
🌼 How Do Bees Make Honey?
Honeybees make honey using flower nectar. Here’s how they do it:
1️⃣ Bees visit flowers 🌸 and use their long tongues to sip sweet nectar.
2️⃣ They carry the nectar back to the beehive in their tiny bellies.
3️⃣ Inside the hive, bees work together to turn nectar into honey.
4️⃣ They store the honey in special wax containers called honeycombs.
5️⃣ Beekeepers collect the honey and put it in jars for us to enjoy!
🍯 Why Do Bees Make Honey?
Bees make honey as food to keep their colony strong. When winter comes and flowers are hard to find, bees eat their stored honey to stay healthy.
