The hard work of bees begins in spring. They not only have the quality of hard work, but also have extraordinary management skills. The water content of nectar collected from nature is as high as 40% to 60%. Bees can always manage to reduce the water content to less than 20%. This does not seem to be difficult when the temperature is high. When it is cold, they have to act collectively in the hive. , using your body to warm the hive. A swarm of bees can produce 150 to 250 kilograms of honey in one working season, which means that 180 to 350 liters of water must be evaporated during its "processing" process.
The brewed honey will be sent to a special warehouse (beehive) and sealed with wax to prepare for future needs. The commonly used methods for food preservation are high-temperature cooking and container sealing. The bees' clever trick is to give honey itself a substance that can decompose microorganisms, making its preservative function more effective. Honey is a hard-earned product of hard work. In order to protect the fruits of their labor, bees never slacken off. Whenever there is any disturbance, they will send out an alarm message and swarm to attack.
