Bees feed on the nectar of flowers and pollen in summers. Winters have less flowers, therefore, bees fed on nectar and go back to their beehives to store the nectar in the wax cells as honey. This is their food for extreme winters and, therefore, is stored in the beehive safely. Every bee has a job, which it does to collect the honey. The nectar of flower is usually not so thick as honey and the concentration of honey happens itself during the months it is stored. The warm weather evaporates the water content leaving the thick honey. The air movement on the stored honey is done as bees fan their wings and, therefore, there is a buzz over the beehive. The bees wrap the honey with their wax once they know it is ready to preserve for the colder months.
