How bees make honey

Honey gets its nectar from the flower which bees get to make the honey. The nectar is naturally broken down into sugars and put in honeycombs. 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.
