Anyone know of honey produced by bees by changing the nectar obtained from flowers and then collected in the nest and into honey. So, how the process of nectar to be honey?
In the nation of bees, as well as other insect colonies, have each task. Most of the so-called group of worker bees each day to lift the nectar is collected.
The worker bees have a pouch in the body can store nectar. The bag has a capacity to accommodate the nectar produced between 150 to 1500 flowers. As a symbol of mutualism, the bee gives a bonus to the interest taken in the delivering nectar pollen that helps the process of fertilization of flowers.
Well, after a carrier bag full of nectar, bees return to the hive. In the nest is waiting for some other bee assigned to await the return of the worker bees. This group is called the bees home, his job receives nectar is then processed in the mouth and stomach. In the mouth and stomach bee home that there are certain enzymes. Enzymes that function to break down sugar in the form of nectar in the form of disaccharides into monosaccharides, so that the shape becomes more simple.
Results of processing the nectar is then placed by the bees in the hive. At first, the nectar has a water content of 70 to 80 percent, so the shape is very liquid. But, after going through some processes, the moisture content down so that only reached 18 percent. As a result, its form becomes thick.
Moisture reduction is due to the enzyme treatment process and also the temperature of the honeycomb which is generally enough to make the water evaporate. Finally, nectar sugar forms simplified and condensed its form is what we know as honey.
