🔲How do bees make honey？

🌈Flying Miles And Miles To Gather Nectar

Making honey takes a lot of work and the bees are constantly [ˈkɔnstəntli] moving. It takes thousands of bees just to make one pound of honey! But not just any bee can make honey that we can eat.

制作蜂蜜需要大量的工作，而且蜜蜂一直在移动。几千只蜜蜂才能酿出一磅蜂蜜！但不是所有的蜜蜂都能酿出我们可以吃的蜂蜜。

Plus, wasps 黄蜂 and hornets 大黄蜂 don’t make honey. They scavenge food from dead animals, trash bins, and picnics.

另外，黄蜂和大黄蜂不产蜜。他们从死去的动物、垃圾桶和野餐中寻找食物。

The honey bee, is the most widely known bee that does make honey, however, it isn’t the only kind of bee that can do it! Other social [ˈsəuʃəl] bees can also make honey but they don’t make enough to share with humans.

蜜蜂，是最广为人知的制造蜂蜜的蜜蜂，然而，它并不是唯一一种会制造蜂蜜的蜜蜂！其他群居的蜜蜂也可以产蜜，但它们的产量不足以与人类分享。

As a group, honey bees usually fly up to 55,000 miles just to produce one pound of honey. Individually, each bee visits about 100 flowers per trip just to fill their honey stomach [ˈstʌmək] with nectar!

作为一个群体，蜜蜂通常飞行55000英里只为生产一磅蜂蜜。单独地每只蜜蜂每趟大约拜访100朵花仅仅是为了用花蜜填满他们的蜂蜜胃！

🌈 Filling Their Honey Stomach[ˈstʌmək]

Honey bees have two stomachs. One is for digesting [diˈdʒest] their food and the other one stores nectar and begins the process of turning the nectar into glucose and fructose, simple sugar compounds that make honey.

Digest：The pieces of food you eat are large and your stomach can cut them into very small pieces。

Store [stɔː]：You put the stones in a bag. You need a bag to store the stones

蜜蜂有两个胃。一种是消化食物，另一种是储存花蜜，开始将花蜜转化为葡萄糖和果糖的过程，这是制造蜂蜜的单糖化合物。

They walk face-first into the flower then use their straw-like tongues to suck out the nectar and store it in their honey stomach. This stomach creates an enzyme [ˈenzaim]酶 that begins to turn the nectar into honey.

它们脸朝下走进花朵，然后用像稻草一样的舌头吸出花蜜，储存在它们的蜂蜜胃里。这个胃产生一种酶，开始把花蜜变成蜂蜜。

 🔲Sharing The Nectar To Create Honey

Once the bee’s honey stomach is full of nectar it flies back home to its hive to share the nectar with other bees.

一旦蜜蜂的蜂蜜胃里充满了花蜜，它就会飞回蜂巢与其他蜜蜂分享花蜜。

One bee takes the nectar, stores it in its honey stomach and adds more enzymes. Then she gives it to another bee to do the same thing. This sharing goes until the nectar has turned into runny honey.

一只蜜蜂采集花蜜，储存在它的蜂蜜胃里，并添加更多的酶。然后她让另一只蜜蜂做同样的事情。这种分享直到花蜜变成流动的蜂蜜。

It takes thousands of bees working together to do this process.

这需要成千上万的蜜蜂一起工作来完成这个过程。

🔲Worker Bee Tells Other Bees Where To Find Nectar

Each bee’s job is important and they need to communicate to make sure everything is getting done, so how do bees communicate?

They dance!

Did you know?

Each dance has a special meaning.

For example, when a scouter [ˈskautə] bee finds flowers she goes back to the hive and does a little dance to tell the others where the flowers are.

例如，当侦察蜂发现花朵时，它会飞回蜂巢，跳一小段舞，告诉其他蜜蜂花朵在哪里。

If she swings her backside quickly it shows that there are a lot of flowers and it’s a good place to get nectar. The more energetic [ˌenəˈdʒetik] the dance, the better the nectar source!

She will also walk in the direction of the flowers so the other bees can find them.

如果她快速摆动她的背部，这表明有很多花，这是一个很好的地方获得花蜜。舞蹈越有活力，花蜜的来源就越好!

她也会朝着花的方向走，这样其他蜜蜂就能找到它们。

Don’t forget,

Bees are telling this information inside a beehive. They could be facing any direction. So the dance that the bee does is in relationship to the sun.

蜜蜂在蜂巢里告诉这个信息。他们可能面向任何方向。所以蜜蜂的舞蹈是与太阳的方向有关的。

That way when the other bees go outside, they can immediately know what direction to fly. Otherwise, they could get lost by the time they got outside.

这样，当其他蜜蜂飞到外面时，它们就能立刻知道该往哪个方向飞。否则，他们可能会在出去的时候迷路。

🔲Storing The New Honey

Once the nectar is turned into runny honey the bees put it into a storage [ˈstɔːridʒ] cell in the honeycomb.

一旦花蜜变成流动的蜂蜜，蜜蜂就会把它放进蜂巢的储存室。

Honeycomb is made from wax [wæks] that is also produced by the bees. The honeycomb stores the honey for the bees to use as food in the future. It is their food storage [ˈstɔːridʒ] or pantry.

蜂房是由蜂蜡制成的，蜂蜡也是由蜜蜂产生的。蜂巢储存蜂蜜供蜜蜂将来食用。这是他们的食物储藏室。

They will eat the honey stored in the honeycomb throughout the winter months when there aren’t flowers to gather nectar from. These storage cells are kept away from where the baby bees are growing and also kept separate from any bee waste.

它们会在整个冬天没有花采蜜的时候吃掉储存在蜂巢里的蜂蜜。这些储存室远离小蜜蜂生长的地方，也远离任何蜜蜂排泄物。

🔲Finishing The Honey

When it gets put in the honeycomb, the honey is super runny. It is more like water than honey. The next step is for the bees to fan their wings to evaporate [iˈvæpəreit] the water and thicken [ˈθikən] the honey. This also helps to keep the hive at a desirable humidity since the honey evaporates water.

当它被放进蜂巢时，蜂蜜是非常稀的。它更像水而不是蜂蜜。下一步是蜜蜂扇动翅膀蒸发水分，使蜂蜜变稠。这也有助于保持蜂巢在一个理想的湿度，因为蜂蜜蒸发水分。

The nectar they gather from the flowers is about 80% water. They fan their wings until there is only 14-18% of water left in the honey. This takes a lot of hard work and energy. It also helps the honey store for a very long time.

它们从花中采集的花蜜80%是水。它们扇动翅膀，直到蜂蜜中只剩下14-18%的水分。这需要大量的辛勤工作和精力。它还有助于蜂蜜储存很长一段时间。

Once it is the right consistency the bees will make more wax and cover the honey to help keep it fresh.

一旦达到了合适的浓度，蜜蜂就会制造更多的蜡，并覆盖蜂蜜以保持新鲜。

Then, during the winter or anytime there is a shortage of nectar the bees can access the stored honey to eat and feed their colony.

然后，在冬天或任何时候有花蜜短缺的时候，蜜蜂可以获得储存的蜂蜜来吃和喂养它们的蜂群。

If the bees are kept in a hive that a beekeeper owns, the beekeeper knows the honey is ready to harvest and sale when the honey is sealed in with wax.

如果蜜蜂被关在一个养蜂人的蜂箱里，养蜂人知道当蜂蜜用蜡密封起来的时候，蜂蜜就可以收获和销售了。

Many beekeepers only take the extra [ˈekstrə] honey that is produced leaving their bees enough honey to get through the winter months. Others will take all the honey and feed their bees a sugar water solution [səˈluːʃən]   through the winter.

许多养蜂人只取走生产出来的多余的蜂蜜，让他们的蜜蜂有足够的蜂蜜度过冬天的几个月。另一些人会采走所有的蜂蜜，在整个冬天用糖水来喂养它们的蜜蜂。

🌈MATERIALS

Bubble wrap汽泡纸

Little plastic box小盒子

needle tubing针管

Pigment [ˈpigmənt]色素

Water水

Peper\Scissors\color pen

🌈Step 1: Preparations

Put the honey water in the cup. You draw a flower and cut it with scissors。Then you place it on the top of the cup.

🌈Step 2:Rules

（1）The bubble wrap is beehive。You are worker bee。Honey bees have two stomachs. One is for digesting [diˈdʒest] their food and the other one stores nectar。

Digest：The pieces of food you eat are large and your stomach can cut them into very small pieces。

Store [stɔː]：You put the stones in a bag. You need a bag to store the stones。

（2）Now，the needle tubing is your stomach that can store nectar。Your stomach can create an enzyme [ˈenzaim] that turn the nectar into honey。

（3）You can use your straw-like tongues to suck out the nectar and store it in your honey stomach.

🌈Step 3: Sharing The Nectar To Create Honey

When your stomach is full of nectar，you fly back home to your hive to share the nectar with other bees.

🌈Step 4：Make honey

Your take the nectar, store it in your honey stomach and adds more enzymes. Then you give it to another bee to do the same thing. This sharing goes until the nectar has turned into runny honey.

It takes thousands of bees working together to do this process.

Wow，you have turned into runny honey.

🌈Step 5：Storing The New Honey

Once the nectar is turned into runny honey the bees put it into a storage [ˈstɔːridʒ] cell in the honeycomb.

Now，you can put the honey into the beehive。

These are our food storage，we will eat the honey stored in the honeycomb throughout the winter months when there aren’t flowers to gather nectar from.

🌈Step 6：Finishing The Honey

When we put honey in the honeycomb, the honey is super runny. It is more like water than honey. The next step is for the bees to fan their wings to evaporate [iˈvæpəreit] the water and thicken [ˈθikən] the honey.

You can fan your wings，You get very little water, and the rest is honey。

It's like when you put salt water in the sun, and it's just salt, and there's no water
