Question 3 of 3
Read the passage below: "Honeybees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers. First, a bee lands on a flower and sucks up the sweet liquid called nectar. The bee stores the nectar in a special stomach called the honey stomach. When the bee returns to the hive, it passes the nectar to another bee, who chews it for a few minutes and then spreads it into the honeycomb cells. The other bees fan their wings to dry the nectar, turning it into thick honey." Which detail from the passage best explains why honey becomes thick?
