Honey is sweet and sticky,


and it tastes good. How is
honey made?

2
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:25 PM Page 3

Honey is made by bees. They


gather nectar from wildflowers.
Then they fly home to their
hive with the nectar in their
special honey stomachs.

3
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/29/01 2:56 AM Page 4

The bees put the nectar in


honeycomb holes. Then the
bees wait. The nectar will soon
change into thick, sticky honey.

4
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:25 PM Page 5

Worker bees cover the


honeycomb holes with wax that
they make. During the winter,
the bees eat some of the honey.

5
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:26 PM Page 6

Beekeepers watch over their


hives in the field. The hives are
inside boxes. The beekeepers do
not touch or poke at the wild
bees.

6
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:26 PM Page 7

The honeycombs are put


into machines that spin very
fast. The honey squirts out of
the honeycombs.

7
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/29/01 2:58 AM Page 8

The honey flows into big


tubs. Soon these containers
are full.

8
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 11:45 PM Page 9

Workers put the containers


onto big trucks. They take the
honey to a factory.

9
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 11:25 PM Page 10

Workers take the containers


inside the factory. The honey
flows in a hose to small jars.

10
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 11:25 PM Page 11

Then trucks bring the jars


of honey to stores. Many people
work to get the honey onto
the shelves.

11
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:29 PM Page 12

When the stores open,


people shop and buy the honey.
They can’t wait to take it home!

12
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:29 PM Page 13

People use honey for many


things. They put it into tea.
They put it on food. They take
a dose of honey when they
are sick.

13
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:29 PM Page 14

People put honey on apples.


They put it in cakes. Another
use is for making candy. Honey
makes everything taste sweet. It
smells good, too.

RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:29 PM Page 15

Honey is good with so many


things! Can you think of at
least twelve?
Honey is even good alone.

15
RNL01AIN1X_INA26_1-20 5/28/01 10:30 PM Page 16

Next time you eat honey, think


of the bees. We have bees to
thank for sweet honey.
