Honey Page Our friend Josh shows how honey combs are uncapped. Josh was the master beekeeper on a Hutterite settlement in Manitoba. The Hutterites share work and profits equally in communities which they call colonies. Many of their Sunday sermons use the honey bee colony as an example of a harmonious, disciplined life style which can be emulated for successful and prosperous living.
Honey is made by honey bees.
The little creatures fly to millions of flowers, gathering tiny droplets of nectar which the flowers offer to the bees in trade for pollination services. The bees convert the nectar by enzyme processes into honey. The bees need the honey as their only source of carbohydrates, or energy food. The honey is stored in wax combs which the bees also make for themselves. The bees store the honey for use as food during times when flowers aren't blooming.
