How Honey Is Made (Text Procedure)

Bees collect nectar from flowers through their mouth and store it in their honey stomach. They return to the hive and regurgitate the nectar into honeycomb cells. To make honey, beekeepers remove the wax caps from the honeycomb frames and place the frames in an extractor to spin out the honey. The honey is then strained and may be heated before being bottled and distributed to retailers. The text describes the multi-step process bees use to make honey, from gathering nectar from flowers to bottling the final product.

You are having some
delicious honey and you
are thinking to yourself:
How do bees make
honey? Here is a
simplified explanation of
how bees make honey:

A honey bee starts the honey making


process by visiting a flower and
gathering some of its nectar.
A honey bee goes from flower to flower
collecting nectar from the nest, bee
transfers pollen grains from one flower
to another and pollinates the other
flower to produce honey. They gather
nectar from flowers through his mouth
and then save it in the honey stomach.
After the honey stomach is full, bee
returned
to
the
nest.

From Bee

To Hive

Beekeepers
harvest
honey
by
collecting the honeycomb frames and
scraping off the wax cap that bees
make to seal off honey in each cell.
Once the caps are removed, the
frames are placed in an extractor
a centrifuge that spins the frames,
forcing honey out of the comb. The
honey is spun to the sides of the
extractor, where gravity pulls it to
the bottom and it can be collected.

After the honey is extracted, it is


strained to remove any remaining
pieces of wax or other particles.
Some beekeepers and bottlers
might heat the honey to make it
easier to strain, but this does
nothing to alter the liquids natural
composition.
It only makes the straining
process easier and more effective.

To Bottle

After straining, its time to


bottle, label and distribute the
honey to retail outlets.
Whether the container is glass
or plastic, or purchased at the
grocery
store
or
farmers
market, if the ingredient label
says pure honey, you can rest
assured that nothing was added,
so, that is processing to make
honey, from bee to hive to
bottle.
