How Do Bees Make Honey? 🐝🍯 | Hum the Bee's Honey Kitchen, Science for Kids

Bo's head is stuck in the honey pot… and the honey is ALL GONE! Then a fuzzy little bee buzzes up: "I can make you more!" Hum the honeybee takes Bo and Pip the frog through the whole honey kitchen: sipping nectar with a straw tongue, the secret honey tummy, a hundred flowers, passing it mouth to mouth (with a tiny drop of bee spit!), the six-sided wax cup, fanning it all night, and the wax lid. Is it ready yet? Not yet! What kids learn: • Nectar is the sweet juice inside flowers. A bee sips it with a long tongue, like a straw. • The bee keeps it in a special pocket, the honey tummy, and visits about a hundred flowers on one trip. • Back home, bees pass the nectar mouth to mouth, and each bee adds a tiny bit of "bee spit" that changes it. • It goes into a six-sided wax cup; the wax comes from the bees too, in tiny flakes. • Nectar is runny because it is mostly water, so the bees fan it with their wings until the water floats away and it gets thick and gold: honey! • A wax lid keeps it for winter, when there are no flowers. • One bee makes about one drop of honey in its whole life. More flowers mean more honey.
