How Do Bees Make Honey?

Bees make honey like little chefs in a kitchen. They collect sweet nectar from flowers and bring it back to the hive. Then, they work together by passing the nectar from bee to bee, making it even sweeter and thicker until it turns into honey. This way, bees store food for when there are no more flowers around.
