Nectar is 80% water with some multiplex sugars. If you pulled a honeysuckle blossom out of its  stem. Nectar is the fluid that drops at the end of the blossom. Some bees get their nectar from flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry bushes and fruit tree blossoms. Bees use their long tube tongues to suck the nectar out of the flowers and suck it all in their honey stomachs. Did you know that bees have two stomachs? one is a honey stomach that stomach holds the nectar like a backpack and the regular stomach too. The honey stomach holds 70 mg of nectar and when it's full it almost weighs the same as the size of a bee. Honey bees must collect between 100-1500  flowers to collect the nectar in order to fill up their honey stomachs.
If they only had let’s say  15% nectar, it is not sufficient to make the honey so the bees need to collect as much nectar as they can so they can make nice, sweet and liquidy honey.

Author: Ken Jennings
Book review: Amanda
This book is all about greek mythology but changed the story a bit different and confusing. It is all about ancient stories about how Prometheus was being very clever to the Greek Gods how Achilles’s heel led to his death. This book has great illustrations inside and pop quiz to break open the code plus this book is good for your knowledge and is great to challenge your friends and your teachers too.

I recommend this book ages to 9-11 because it is great for knowledgeg and should be able to read harder words they should be able to know they should be able to know.Image result for ken jennings junior genius guides greek mythology
