How Honey is Made
You are having some delicious honey and you are thinking to
yourself: How do bees make honey? Here is a simplified explanation
of how bees make honey:
GENERAL STATEMENTFrom Bee
A honey bee starts the honey making process by visiting a flower
and gathering some of its nectar. A honey bee goes from flower to
flower collecting nectar from the nest, bee transfers pollen grains
from one flower to another and pollinates the other flower to
produce honey. They gather nectar from flowers through his mouth
and then save it in the honey stomach.
After the honey stomach is full, bee returned to the nest.
To Hive
Beekeepers harvest honey by collecting the honeycomb frames and
scraping off the wax cap that bees make to seal off honey in each
cell.
Once the caps are removed, the frames are placed in an extractor
a centrifuge that spins the frames, forcing honey out of the comb.
The honey is spun to the sides of the extractor, where gravity
pulls it to the bottom and it can be collected.
To Bottle
After the honey is extracted, it is strained to remove any
remaining pieces of wax or other particles.
Some beekeepers and bottlers might heat the honey to make it
easier to strain, but this does nothing to alter the liquids
natural composition.
It only makes the straining process easier and more
effective.
After straining, its time to bottle, label and distribute the
honey to retail outlets.
Whether the container is glass or plastic, or purchased at the
grocery store or farmers market, if the ingredient label says pure
honey, you can rest assured that nothing was added, so, that is
processing to make honey, from bee to hive to bottle.
