To make honey, worker bees go to find flowers. When a worker bee finds a flower, she takes her straw-like tongue and sucks up the nectar. She stores the nectar in her stomach. She goes back to the hive and gives the nectar to another worker bee. That worker bee gives the honey to another bee called a house bee. The house bee stores the nectar in a honeycomb. She then fans the honey with her wings to evaporate most of the water from it. That is why honey is not runny. A seal of wax is put on the honeycomb to let it age and turn into honey! The wax is made when the youngest of the honeybees join together to raise the temperature. By doing that tiny scales the size of a pinhead form on their bodies. The house bee then collects the honey.  Those scales and puts it on top of the honey and lets it cool.
