A healthy Beehive can produce 1 to 2 kgs of honey per day.
First, Bee’s look for a suitable food source. They dip their tongues in and scup out nectar. When the nectar is collected they store it in their honey stomach. When it’s in the stomach the enzymes break down the nectar into sugar.
After that, they bring the nectar back to the hive. They spew the nectar into other workers mouth. Each bee will chew it for about half an hour until it turns to honey, Then Bee’s put honey into honeycomb cells.
Lastly, the honey is still wet so they fan it with their wings to dry it and make it more sticky. When it’s done they seal it with a wax lid to keep it clean
Bee’s work very hard to make honey for us. (I like turtles)
