How do bees make honey?
Before jumping into these bee activity sheets, let’s give your kids a fun and important fact about their favorite little flyers!
Have your children ever wondered how bees make their delicious honey? These amazing pollinators start by collecting nectar, a sweet liquid from flowers, using their long, tube-shaped tongues.
That’s why we see them buzzing from flower to flower, they are not just collecting nectars but also pollinating plants and flowers in our gardens!
After collecting nectars, bees fly back to their hive and pass the nectar to other worker bees in their colony. These bees chew on the nectar for about half an hour, turning it into honey by mixing it with an enzyme in their saliva!
They store this soon-to-be honey in honeycomb cells and fan it with their wings to make it nice and thick. Once the honey’s just right, they seal the cell with a wax lid, and voila! the honey is ready to be enjoyed by the bees, and sometimes, lucky for us, by us too!
Can you imagine how much hard work bees dedicate to making these delicious liquid golds?
