Eli5: How exactly do bees make honey?

1.28K views

We all know bees collect pollen but how is it made into sweet gold honey? Also, is the only reason why people haven’t made a synthetic version is because it’s easier to have the bees do it for us?

There have been several recent experiments/studies done on this…

Much of the big business honey you buy in the supermarket is actually mostly corn syrup.

Not “synthetic”, but not real, either, and certainly not with any of the health benefits.

Buy from small batches. Buy from local beekeepers.
