How do honey bees make honey?

Honeybees moves within a 5-mile radius of their hive and collect nectar from flowers. The collected nectar is stored in a specific sac present in its stomach. When nectar sac is full honeybee returns to hive where other honeybees pass this nectar mouth-to-mouth from bee to bee. The enzyme present in their mouth reduces water content of nectar from about 70% to 20%. This is the method by which honey is made. This honey is stored in the hive.
