HOW BEES MAKE HONEY.

The worker bees gather all the
nectar and pollen from the bios
SONS of fruits and flowers, clover,
and many other plants they visit.
The nectar is taken by the bee
into it's mouth and through a won
derful arrangement is partially
converted into honey by the time
the bee reaches the hive.
The pollen also-a food kept for
baby bees-is carried to comb
cells, but IL Is not mixed with the
transformed nectar. 1t Is carried
In a pair of little baskets, pollen
baskets, they are called, located
on the third pair of the bees legs.
On its arrival in the hive the
bee places its head in one OF the
cells OF the comb and deposits
there the nectar. BY this time the
nectar has been partly transform
ed into honey, and the process Is
completed by the bees by tanning
the cells to evaporate the excess
of moisture. When a cell has been
filled with the thick honey the work
ers cover it with Gaping OF wax
unless IL is to be eaten at once.
The little pellets Of pollen which
the bees carry In are packed
tightly into cells until the cell Is
nearly full.
