TRANSCRIPT:
that was close hey friends I know you must be wondering why am i carrying this
small box so cautiously with care and precaution well in this box lies a bottle of
sweet golden and natural honey and I need to deliver it to my aunt without wasting
a single drop of it I know I know you guys must be like what's the big deal in it well
friends we all know that honey bees make honey but do you know it takes a great
effort and hard work from bees to make the honey we enjoy if not then don't you
worry friends today let us go into the buzzing world of these tiny chefs we call
honey bees and learn the recipe for nature's sweetest dessert known as honey
zoom in well friends honey a sugar which mainly constitutes of fructose and
glucose made by honey bees living in a large group called a colony this colony
lives in a hive and has thousands of female worker bees who make the honey
first the worker bees who are also known as forager visit flowers containing sugar
water and then with the help of their holo straw-like Jung called proboscis they
suck up the nectar from the flock and store it into its tummy while returning to
their bee hive digestive enzymes are already processing to turn that nectar into
different parts of sugar like glucose and fructose once the Walker honeybee
returns to the hive they vomit the nectar into a processor honeybees mouth
I know it sounds yucky but please bear with me friends God is going to get
yukia but anything for science and dessert go away go away kitty shoo shoo
after breaking the nectar father the processor honeybee vomits the partially
converted nectar into another processor beasts mouth this process goes on
until most of the nectar turns into simple sugar then the bee bulls this watery
honey mix from its tummy into its mouth and then Stowe's it into the honeycomb
but this dual nectar mix is still quite watery and gooey so to get rid of most of the
water the smart bees flap their wings which evaporate the water leaving the thick
mixture we know as honey trip we are time did you know that in its whole life a
single bee only produces about 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of honey whoa get out of
my way worker bees have to fly a whopping 55 thousand miles to produce a
pound of honey and it takes about 556 foraging bees to visit 2 million flowers
to do so who suddenly the homework seems an easier task to do isn't it also
honey is a precious gift of nature to us as it is full of vitamins minerals and has
many medicinal benefits beyond that honey also has many anti microbial and
healing properties linked with it that's why my friends we should value the
efforts of honeybees and cherish every drop of honey whoops see you soon
