HOW HONEY IS OBTAINED?

As we all know honey is a natural sweetener and it is obtained from the honey bees. But today we would like to add some more information for you.

Honey is made using the nectar of flowering plants. Each honey bee visits at least 50 to 100 flowers and then returns to the beehive for eating. This process is repeated many times and the nectar that the bee has not digested for itself is deposited into a honeycomb.  

Some honey collectors wait until the honeycomb is naturally completed or they burn a fire under the honey comb, that fire makes bees abort leave their honeycombs.

After that experts squeezes the honey from those honeycombs.
