The diagram below shows how honey is made in small-scale commercial production. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The

process

of small-scale commercial

honey

production

is a multi-step

process

that involves both bee and human phases.

Bees

are responsible for gathering nectar from flowers, which they store in cells within the hive. Once the cells reach maximum capacity,

bees

seal them with wax. At

this

point, honeycombs are gathered, and the

process

of extracting

honey

begins. The first step in extracting

honey

is pressing the honeycombs to extract the

honey

within them. The

honey

is

then

passed through a sieve tank to remove any

impurities

that may be present.

After

this

, the

honey

is heated in a sump tank to around 45-50°C.

This

heating

process

helps to kill any bacteria that may be present in the

honey

and

also

makes it easier for the

honey

to flow. Once the

honey

has been heated, it is transferred to settling tanks for 2-4 days.

This

allows any remaining

impurities

to settle at the bottom of the tank. During

this

time, the

honey

is left undisturbed, and gravity does the work of separating any

impurities

.

Finally

, the clarified

honey

is deposited into jars for

selling

with important information

such

as the type of

, the date of

, and the producer's name. In

this

way, customers can be assured that the

honey

they are buying is of high quality and has undergone a stringent

production

process

. In summary, the

process

of small-scale commercial

honey

production

involves several stages, including gathering nectar, extracting

honey

from combs, removing

impurities

, heating, settling, and packaging for sale. Both

bees

and humans play important roles in

this

process

, with

bees

responsible for gathering and storing nectar, and humans handling the extraction, processing, and selling of the

honey
