Have you ever wondered how bees make honey? First, the bee collects watery nectar from a flower. Then the bee stores it in a special honey stomach or sac. When the sac becomes full the bee returns to the hive. The bees then pass the nectar from bee to bee using their mouths. Passing the nectar removes water from the nectar. Slowly the nectar changes into honey.
