Answer 1

The correct option is A

Honey is made by bees by digesting pollen collected from flowers

Honey is made by bees with nectar and pollens. Bees collect pollen and nectar in the spring when most flowers and plants are in bloom. They collect them in their stomach about an hour, the nectar mixes with proteins and enzymes produced by the bees, which convert nectar into honey.
