Talking Points

• What is honey?
  "Honey is a sweet and sticky substance made by bees using nectar from flowers."
• How do bees make honey?
  "Bees collect nectar from flowers, then they store it in their honey stomach. When they return to the hive, they pass the nectar to other bees who chew it and place it in honeycomb cells. They fan it with their wings to remove excess water, and voilà, honey!"
