How Do bees Make honey?

How do bees make honey?
W.A.L.T  write an explanation about how bees make honey.
this term we have been focusing on explanation writing the writing below is my "how do bees make honey?" explanation.  

Did you know that one bee has to fly up to 90,000 miles 3 times around the
globe to make one pound of honey? The average bee will make about 12/1 of
a teaspoons of honey in its lifetime! A honey bee visits 50-100 flowers
in one collecting trip and as fast as 15 miles PH!

Honey bees collect nectar in the spring. They use their straw like tongue
(aka Proboscis) to suck out all of the nectar and pollen they can.

 To carry the honey to the hive they store the honey in one
of their stomachs to make sure they don’t drop it anywhere.

Now they have to MAKE the honey the bees spit each others mouth
so it's nice and sticky next they spit it into the honeycomb,flap their wings
so it dries ,the seals the honey with a nice layer of wax

One the honey is produced and ready finally the keepers can prepare
it for sale! :D

I enjoyed writing this because it was fun and interesting to learn more about
bees!

Do you have any feedback for me?
