The nectar is brought back to the hive and transferred to the house bee, tongue to tongue. Then the house bee spreads a drop of nectar on the roof of a cell in a comb. Finally, more house bees cover every cell filled with thickened nectar with a thin layer of wax. Honey is a product that honey bees make. Humans use the honey for many different purposes.
Honey can be a substitute for sugar in many foods.
Honey has a greater sweetening ability that sugar doesn't have. One cup of honey weighs twelve ounces while one cup of sugar weighs seven ounces. Honey was also used in various ways in history. Long ago priests used honey and cakes sweetened by honey in religious ceremonies. In Roman times, honey was used as widely as sugar is now.
