The diagram illustrates how bees produce honey

The illustration depicts the process by which honey bees manufacture honey. Overall, the process has 7 main steps from hive construction and nectar collection to storage and water evaporation in order to produce honey. To begin with, the bees are observed to build a hive of hexagonal cells in a large tessellation – the honeycomb. After construction is finished, they leave the hive in search for flowering plants onto which they fly to the centre of the flowers in order to collect the sweet nectar from the nectaries. Following this, the sugary liquid is carried back home where the bees then place this into the cells for storage. Moreover, once the stroage is completed, they then have the job of flapping their wings rapidly to create air currents. These current cause excess water from the nectar to evaporate, leaving a thick luscious hive filled with viscous honey. Finally, the honey from the honey combs is extracted, jarred and sold to consumers globally.
