Editing Worker bee (section)

=== Honey production ===
Worker bees collect nectar from flowers using their tubular mouth parts, and store it in their honey stomach. Enzymes proceed to break down the nectar into simple sugars. Back at the hive, the nectar is distributed to other worker bees who either distribute it to young bees or store it in honeycomb cells. Then, [[honey]] is produced by being further dehydrated via fanning then sealed with a wax cap, which prevents absorption of moisture from the air.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How Bees Make Honey: Producing honey is a strenuous team effort for bees – CALS News |url=https://news.cals.wisc.edu/2012/06/04/how-bees-make-honey-producing-honey-is-a-strenuous-team-effort-for-bees/#:~:text=Once%20placed%20into%20the%20honeycomb,turning%20the%20nectar%20into%20honey.&text=Finally,%20worker%20bees%20seal%20the,as%20the%20bees'%20food%20supply. |access-date=2024-03-24 |website=news.cals.wisc.edu}}</ref>
