Honey production refers to the process of creating honey. ![How is honey made](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/stories/accac970-e501-44d7-bb3c-9947360f5d95/images/a00cfe80-247e-411d-905a-d68f7c83b6c2.jpeg) Honey stomachs are used by bees to store nectar. As the bees return to the hive, they begin to digest the nectar into simpler carbohydrates. ![How is honey made](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/stories/accac970-e501-44d7-bb3c-9947360f5d95/images/51988d0b-cbb9-47f6-8a71-9be5bf1b4ef1.jpeg) When bees arrive to the hive, they regurgitate the nectar into the honeycomb. Bees construct the honeycomb from wax cells. ![How is honey made](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/stories/accac970-e501-44d7-bb3c-9947360f5d95/images/c029e914-8071-40e8-918d-c024fc1e5c0f.jpeg) To evaporate water, bees spread the nectar with their wings. This process concentrates the sugars in the nectar and turns it into honey. ![How is honey made](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/stories/accac970-e501-44d7-bb3c-9947360f5d95/images/956cda34-d3ca-456d-b842-90d1fcea5027.jpeg) When the honey is ready, the bees use beeswax to seal the honeycomb cells. This seals the honey and keeps moisture and pests out.
