Could you give me a slightly more technical description on how bees produce the honey?
user
Sure.  I’m going to start by explaining how bees collect the nectar from the flower.  Once the bee lands on the flower, it removes the stamen with a modified pair of legs.  Then it proceeds to the nectary where the nectar is produced.  The pollen is collected in a special region called the pollen basket.  Once the bee has gathered nectar, it deposits the nectar in a pouch called a honey stomach.  The process of transferring the nectar into the honey stomach is called regurgitation.  The bee then moves the nectar back to the hive.  Once in the hive, the nectar is added to some water and then mixed with enzymes.  This causes the nectar to turn into honey.
