Adverbials for Time

Bees eat honey and they start making it by visiting flowers. They collect nectar, which is a sugary liquid, from the blossom by sucking it out. They store it in their honey stomachs which are separate to their other stomachs.

 

When their stomachs are full, they fly back to the hive. When they get there, they pass the nectar to worker bees who chew it and then pass it to the next bee. As it passes from bee to bee, it gradually turns into honey.

 

Until they need to eat it, the bees store the honey in honeycomb cells – basically tiny jars made of wax. Because the honey is wet, they fan it with their wings to make it stickier. To keep it clean, they seal the cell with a wax lid.
