From Flower to Jar
A honeybee visits about a hundred flowers on one trip. She sucks up nectar and stores it in a special stomach.
Back at the hive, she passes the nectar to another bee. That bee chews it for about half an hour. Then it goes into a wax cell.
The bees fan the cell with their wings. The water dries out and the nectar thickens into honey. Then the cell is sealed with wax.

How Milk Gets to the Shop
A dairy cow is milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening.
The milk goes straight into a cold tank. Cold milk keeps fresh much longer than warm milk.
A tanker takes the milk to a dairy. There it is heated for a few seconds to kill germs, then cooled again fast. This is called pasteurising.
Last, the milk is poured into bottles and driven to the shop.
