How do bees collect honey from flowers?

Bees have a chewing mouth, which is a vital tool for collecting nectar. In addition, there are slender tubules between the lower jaw and tongue of bees, which is convenient for bees to inhale nectar when collecting nectar. When the bee finds the honey source, it will make its feet firmly attached to the stamens, and the small tube in its mouth will reach into the middle of the stamens and suck its nectar.

In general, bees will first put a small tube into the stamen of a flower. When they collect honey, they will pick all the flowers and then transfer them to another flower. After sucking enough nectar, they will return to their nests, spit out nectar and come back to collect it.

It's time for bees to collect honey.

Bees usually start collecting honey in spring. As soon as the flowers of plants open, they will start collecting honey, usually starting in March. Bees collect honey in spring and summer. As long as the flowers are in full bloom in relatively sunny weather, they will collect nectar. The specific time for bees to collect honey is related to the flowering period of plants, so the time for bees to collect honey in different places is different.

Bees need 20-40 minutes to collect nectar each time, and then fly back to the hive. It takes about 4 minutes to hand over in the hive. After the handover, I will take part in the work, and I will take part in the work more than a dozen times a day during the peak of nectar flow.
