Honey bees make honey from nectar found inside the flower blossom. Field Worker Honey Bees collect the nectar and carry it back to the hive in pouches within their bodies. The Field Worker Honey Bee gives the nectar to young Worker Honey bees back at the hive, who then place the nectar in a beeswax comb made up of six-sided cells. The excess water is then evaporated from the nectar. After a period of time the nectar is transformed into Pure Honey.
Some Workers collect nectar, some collect pollen and some do both.
In terms of economic value the Workers that collect pollen are the most important to you and I. Honey is just the sweet secondary reward that we collect from Honey Bees. The Worker that collects pollen from the flower packs it into pellets on her hind legs. As she travels from flower to flower, the pollen brushes off onto a special pollen receiving structure called the stigma in the center of the flower. This process is called Pollination and allows all flowering crops to reproduce. The outcome is fruit, vegetables, nuts and a wide variety of seeds that are used for human and animal foods.
