TECHNOLOGY
HOW WE PRODUCE HONEY
In general, the worker bee visits many flowers when she is collecting a load of nectar. She can fill her honey sac with a load of nectar that is nearly equal to her entire body mass.
Honey – maker
how the honey bee worker does
what she does
The need for additional understanding, particularly by those who keep bees today, has grown along with the complexities involved in managing honey bee colonies. Apis mellifera is a well-studied bee. It is the species used for much of the world’s beekeeping. The honey bee worker does not begin life fully grown as you may see her in our bee yards and gardens.
