Solution

The correct option is B Honey is made by bees by digesting pollen collected from flowers.
Honey is made from nectar through a process of regurgitation and evaporation. Honey bees transform saccharides (carbohydrates) into honey by regurgitating it a number of times, until it is partially digested. The bees do the regurgitation and digestion as a group. After the lst regurgitation, the aqueous solution is still high in water, the process continues by evaporation of much of the water and enzymatic transformation. Honey is produced by bees as a food source.
