Back at the hive, foragers regurgitate the nectar and pass it to younger "house bees" mouth-to-mouth. This process adds more enzymes and further reduces moisture.
A typical colony (often called a "super-organism") is comprised of three types of bees: How Do Bees Make Honey?
Bees deposit the thin nectar into hexagonal wax cells. To thicken it, they rapidly fan their wings to create air currents that evaporate excess water.
