Eli5: How exactly does a bee hive work, and how does the honey production cycle work?
gpt
Bees live in a beehive, mostly workers and one queen. The queen lays eggs in honeycomb cells in the center of the hive. The outer areas are filled with pollen, nectar, and honey. Pollen and nectar are collected by the worker bees from flowers.

Honey is created when a worker drinks honey in a second stomach and starts digesting it. They they spit the honey into a honeycomb cell and fan it so that the water starts evaporating. Once enough water has evaporated, they cap the cell to store it for later. This is what gets collected by beekeepers to process and sell.
