CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise bees to produce honey (how to raise bees to produce honey the fastest)

1. What is the whole process of bees making honey?

The whole process of bees making honey takes some time, usually 7 to 15 days.

(1) Honey collection: Honey is a sweet substance collected by bees from plants or secretions, which is fully brewed and stored in the honeycomb. The first step is for bees to go out to collect honey. In order to attract insects to pollinate them, plants secrete nectar in the stamens of their flowers. Bees go out to look for nectar. After finding it, they use their long proboscis like a pump to suck the nectar into the honey sac in their body. The honey sac is like a bag for holding things. After the honey sac is full, the bees fly back to the beehive and spit the nectar in the honey sac into the nesting cells.

(2) Honey making: After the nectar is brought back to the nest, the house bees in the beehive will repeatedly make the honey. On the one hand, it is a physical effect, that is, by flapping their wings and dancing their bodies, the excess water in the nectar is evaporated, reducing the water content from about 60% to about 20%, forming a high-concentration honey liquid. On the other hand, it is a biochemical effect, through the bees secreting digestive enzymes, constantly swallowing and exhaling, the original sucrose is converted into glucose and fructose, reaching 60%~80%, and the sucrose content is reduced to less than 5%, and finally the bees seal it.

2. How do bees make honey?

Step 1: The bee keeps flying, collecting nectar and pollen until the honey sac is full;

Step 2: When the bees fly back to the hive, they use the enzymes and proteins in their stomachs to break down the complex sugars in the nectar into simple sugars that are not easy to crystallize.

Step 3: After the bees return to the hive, they spit out the honey in their bodies and give it to other younger honey for reprocessing;

Step 4: In the bee's stomach, a large amount of water is absorbed, reducing the moisture content of the honey and storing the honey in the nest chamber;

Step 5: The final concentration process is completed by adjusting the temperature with honey;

Step 6: The bees vibrate their wings, generating airflow through the hive, giving the honey an optimal moisture content;

Step 7. After completion, the bees seal the cells with beeswax, and the process of bees making honey is completed.

3. How do bees make honey?

The process of bees making honey mainly involves two aspects. The first is the chemical change of sugar. Bees spit out enzymes in their saliva and mix them with nectar to produce a hydrolysis reaction, turning disaccharides in nectar into monosaccharides, that is, hydrolyzing sucrose in nectar into glucose and fructose. The second is a physical change. Through evaporation, the water content drops from an average of 60%-65% to 17%-25%.

Honey is a natural sweet substance that is made by bees from the nectar collected from the flowers of flowering plants and fully brewed in the hive. It has a strong fragrance and a pure and sweet taste. Nectar comes from the nectar glands of plants and is produced by plants absorbing nutrients from the soil through photosynthesis.

The main components of nectar are sucrose and water, as well as glucose, fructose, amino acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc. It takes bees 20-40 minutes to collect nectar each time, and they stay in the nest for about 4 minutes before going out again. They go out 10-24 times a day during the peak nectar flow period. Each bee absorbs drops of nectar into its sac, and the amount collected each time is usually 40-60 mg, which is basically equivalent to its body weight.
