How Do Bees Make Honey?

How do bees make honey for us?!

These extraordinary insects, the honeybees, have been making honey for 6,000 years and we're still in awe each time we consider the process and the amazing product!

Social Structure and the Beehive

Honeybees live and work together in an organizational group with clear hierarchical structure that provides a worker for every task and condition the hive may encounter.

This cooperative and efficient living arrangement in the hive enables honeybees to take advantage of resources optimally and store honey for consumption during leaner times.
