Honey is essentially bee
vomit.
When a bee takes nectar from a flower, the tiny creature stores it in its
"crop," an enlargement at the back of its esophagus, where the nectar
mixes with enzymes. "A nectar-foraging bee returns to the hive and pumps
out the nectar to a receiving bee," says now retired extension
apiculturist Eric Mussen of The University of California,
Davis
