Al Shifa natural honey is made from the nectar of flowers collected by honeybees.
The Honey Making Process
- Bees collect nectar: Honeybees visit flowers and collect nectar, a sugary liquid produced by the flowers.
- Nectar is stored in the honey sac: The nectar is stored in the bee's honey sac, where enzymes begin to break down the complex sugars into simpler sugars.
- Nectar is transferred to the hive: Back at the hive, the bees deposit the nectar into honeycomb cells.
- Evaporation and ripening: The bees fan their wings to evaporate water from the nectar, concentrating the sugars. This process also allows enzymes to continue breaking down the sugars.
- Honey is capped: Once the honey reaches the desired consistency, the bees cap the cells with wax to seal in the honey and prevent spoilage.
