Nectar varies by flower species but is primarily a mix of sugar, water, and various proteins and amino acids. A portion of the nectar provides worker bees with the energy they need to visit up to 100 flowers each trip. The majority of the nectar, however, goes into a specialized storage stomach so the bee can transport it back to the hive.<br><br><strong>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Double digestion<br><\/strong>At the hive, worker bees regurgitate the nectar to pass it off to processor bees.

For the honey to last in the hive\u2014or your pantry\u2014without fermenting, the water content needs to be much lower, so microbes can\u2019t survive. The bees fan the honey with their wings, circulating the air of the hive to carry away evaporated water until the honey is less than 18% water.
