Is honeymade of bees puke
ReplyDeleteNo. Honeybees have two stomachs. One of them is just like ours, it's attached to the rest of their digestive system, and is for the food they eat. The other is just for nectar that is being turned into honey. It's sometimes called a crop.
ReplyDeleteThe honeybees have a tube, like a straw, called a "proboscis". Through this straw, they drink the nectar from the flowers. When the honeybees are making honey, it goes directly into their "crop" where they add special ingredients called enzymes to it while the honey is stored until they get back to the hive. Then, the honey goes back through their proboscis and into the honeycomb cells to be stored for winter.
