Today I have a post about my explanation writing!
I think I spent around 2-3 days on this piece of explanation writing.
In my writing it tells you how bees make honey.
First we had to watch some videos about bees making honey, then we planned our working on a working sheet, and last but not least we had to write on our chromebooks how bees make honey and our planning sheet helps us get some scientific words. Like proboscis and crop.
Ok heres my writing (Below)

Do you like honey, and have you ever wondered how bees make honey? Bees work together to make the sweet golden stuff that you spread on your toast , and it is not a short process.

First, the female worker bees forage to find flowers, and in the winter they can go foraging for miles before finding 1 flower. When the female worker bees find a flower they use their proboscis (the bees tongue) to suck up all the sweet water called nectar into their crop (special bees stomach.) The hard working worker bees don’t just stop after one flower and go back to the hive they forage to find more flowers and suck up nectar till their crop is full. Fun fact is that it takes 150-15,000 flowers to fill up 1 bee crop, and bee crops are tiny.

After that, the worker bees return to their hive with a full crop then regurgitate (spit or vomit) the nectar from their crop into a younger worker bees mouth. They pass the nectar through lots of bees and while they’re passing it around the nectar thickens and sweetens, because of a part in bees’ stomachs called enzyme which mixes with the nectar and makes the nectar thick and sweet.

Finally, when the bees have finished passing the honey around they store it in a hexagon shaped honeycomb made out of special beeswax. They spit the nectar from their crop into the hexagon honeycomb. Then the bee beats their wings to evaporate as much water as they can from the nectar to form honey. Once they’re happy with their product they cover the comb in beeswax to store for their babies, and the hexagon works like a container, you put something in it then you save it for later. You might think it’s cruel that we take honey from bees because they feed their babies with it ,but honey is not always from wild bees. Farmers farm bees and the worker bees in the farm make plenty enough for their babies.

Now do you still want to eat honey after reading this? That sweet stuff you spread on your toast is bee vomit. Now you know how bees make honey. Maybe go to a bee farming area to watch bees make honey.

Thanks for reading this and could you give me some feedback?
Blog you later!
