Honey Bees

What I found out: The bees go to 100 flowers. They have two stomachs - a honey stomach and a regular stomach. They collect the nectar and pollen. They put the nectar into their honey stomachs. They fly back to the hive. They pass it onto another bee. The other bee chews the nectar for about half an hour. They spread the watery nectar into the honeycombs, then it gets thicker and drier. It becomes honey.
