Bees’ work into the hives

Once arrived in the hive, the bee regurgitates the nectar to a “recipient bee” that regurgitates and re-ingests the nectar, which is rich in water, mixing it with saliva and digestive juices to dry it. This manufacturing process will keep the honey longer. Then, thin honey layers are settled on the artificial cells provided by the beekeeper. With this process the honey is stored into the hive, that has a very hot temperature inside, this allows water to evaporate partially.
