How Bees Make Honey

We have been learning about writing explanations in Room 7. 
 Explanations tell why or how something happens. 
We researched and found out 'How Bees Make Honey'.
 
 
 
How Bees Make Honey
First the bees go out of the hive and they find a flower.
They use their proboscis to get the nectar.
Next they get their legs out and pollen sticks to their legs. The nectar goes into their abdomen and it swirls around and turns into honey.
The bee flies back to the hive and puts it into the cells. When they get back they flap their wings to get the water out.
Then it turns into honey.
Honey tastes like sugar and sprinkles. It smells like jelly.
I like honey.

How Do Bees Make Honey?

First the bees come out of the hive and then they look for some flowers.
They suck out the nectar using their proboscis.  It mixes in their abdomen and then they go back in the hive to make nectar into honey.
They flap their wings to get the wetness off and then it goes in the cells.
Honey tastes like sweet and soft and sticky.
I like honey.

How Do Bees Make Honey
First the worker bees fly out of the hive and look for bright flowers.
Then they use their proboscis and suck up the nectar.
They bring it to the hive. Then they flap their wings to get rid of the water to make the honey.
The Bee Keeper takes it to Arataki Honey Farm and they pour the honey cones out of the hive.  They make the honey and it goes into the containers.  Then it goes to the supermarket and people buy it and they eat it.
I like honey.

Getting to taste honey straight from  Arki's farm was superb and everybody enjoyed it. We say....     Clever Honey Bees!
