Honey is a sweet and Viscosity, viscous substance made by several Bee, bees, the best-known of which are honey bees. Honey is made and stored to nourish bee colonies. Bees produce honey by gathering and then refining the sugary secretions of plants (primarily floral nectar) or the secretions of other insects, like the honeydew (secretion), honeydew of aphids. This refinement takes place both within individual bees, through regurgitation (digestion), regurgitation and enzyme, enzymatic activity, as well as during storage in the hive, through water evaporation that concentrates the honey's sugars until it is thick and viscous. Honey bees stockpile honey in the Beehive, hive. Within the hive is a structure made from wax called honeycomb. The honeycomb is made up of hundreds or thousands of Hexagon, hexagonal cells, into which the bees regurgitate honey for storage.
