Why bees produce honey

Dear steemians, how are you to afternoon


One question in our hearts is why bees produce honey? From the question, it will be the title and discussion in this post. Seeing bees is very, very much that we will talk about, but in this post we will explain as little as possible about it.

Honey that we consume everyday is produced by bees from flower nectar. If honey wasps are already in the nest, the nectar will be removed from the honey pouch on the abdomen and chewed with other wasps, then placed in the wasp nest cell to be fermented to produce honey. But like the question above, why do you produce honey? following the answer.

In general, before bees produce honey, of course they must have the ingredients to be produced into honey through natural principles. Bees get raw materials for honey from nectar of various types of flowers which of course do not bloom all the time. Especially in a country that has four seasons, bees must face a winter whose conditions do not allow the bees to work to go hunting for food. These times, honey is needed as a herd of bees as a food supply to be prepared later so that honey can be produced.

Then in general honey bees produce more honey than the amount they need. In the wild, this serves to guard against predatory threats such as mammals and birds that often steal honey from their nests. A good honey farmer knows for sure how much honey can be harvested in a safe amount, so the herd still has food supplies in the winter without having to be threatened by famine. From its animal instincts, bees are very familiar with the natural conditions. Well answered where is the honey produced by bees. May be useful.
