How is honey made?

Honey is produced by honey bees. The honey we eat today is collected by bees that are kept by beekeepers who specialize in keeping bees.
Beekeepers, who keep these bees, travel around Japan with their hives in search of places with many flowers suitable for honey.
The bees fly from flower to flower on grass and trees to collect the honey from the flowers. The bees then mix their saliva, or spit, into the honey. The bees then mix their saliva, or spit, into the honey, which slightly changes the flower's honey and produces that honey. The bees then carry the honey back to the hive, where it is stored as food. Humans eat that honey.
