How do bees make honey and how do humans harvest it?
Bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers. Then, they bring that pollen and nectar back to their hives. They give it to other bees that eat it and actually make the honey by digesting it. Once the honey is made, we collect the extra honey in the spring and fall by putting on our suits and taking out “frames.” Then, we take the honey out of the comb and put it into jars. The fun thing about bees is that most every honeybee you will ever see is a girl. In fact, girl bees do all the work in the hive. Honeybees make our honey and they are also responsible for a lot of the pollination on our planet. One out of every three bites we take of food comes from something a honeybee pollinated.
