  Bees collect nectar from flowers (essentially a sugary water) and return to the hive and pass it to other bees who then place it in combs and add various enzymes that help to convert the sugars.
  
  Through the use of enzymes, bees are able to convert the complex sugar in nectar into more simple sugars. This is why honey is more easily digested than regular table sugar. Its sugars (glucose and fructose) are simpler than sucrose (table sugar).
  
  They also evaporate off some of the water content for storage before adding a wax layer on top of the comb.
