3. Question
Class Discussion
The honey making process starts with bees making the cells in the hive to store the nectar.
Bees then work together, some preparing the hive cells while drones fly around in the search of floral fields or fruitful trees. Bees search for nectar to collect and take back to the hive. Nectar is the floral extract that is sucked by the bees and carried back to the bee hives.
Bees fan their wings to monitor the temperature in the closed hive. This action helps floral nectar to evaporate excess water and hence increasing heat inside gradually turn’s nectar into honey.
Activity
