Honey is made by honey bees. The little creatures fly to millions of flowers, gathering tiny droplets of nectar which the flowers offer to the bees in trade for pollination service. The bees convert the nectar by enzyme processes in to honey. The bees need the honey as their only source of carbohydrates, or energy food. The honey is stored in wax combs which the bees also make for themselves
The Bees store the honey for use as food during times when flowers are not blooming. These times are usually winters in temperate climates but may be rainy or drought spells in tropical climates. If lots of nectar producing flowers blossom, the bees may store much more honey than they could ever eat by themselves. This excess honey may be harvested by beekeepers. In some parts of the world a great deal of excess honey may be made by the bees. for example, occasionally the eucalyptus forests of Australia yield enough nectar for bees to store over 150 kg of excess honey in each hive.
