Honey is made from nectar that honeybees collect from flowers using their long tongues to suck up the nectar and store it in their honey stomachs. The bees then return to their hive and regurgitate the nectar, where worker bees use their wings to circulate air and evaporate water from the nectar, concentrating the sugars to create honey. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 flowers to fill their honey stomachs with enough nectar to make honey.

Honey
Everybody likes honey. Even, it can be a medicine for most deseases. How is Honey Made?
Honeybees use nectar to make honey. Nectar is almost 80% water with some complex sugars.
In fact, if you have ever pulled a honeysuckle blossom out of its stem, nectar is the clear
liquid that drops from the end of the blossom.
In North America, bees get nectar from flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry bushes and
fruit tree blossoms. They use their long, tubelike tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of
the flowers and they store it in their “honey stomachs”.
Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which they use like a nectar backpack
and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of nectar and when full, it
weighs almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 flowers
in order to fill their honeystomachs.

Flood
Flooding is a disaster which commonly happens in large and densely populated cities. In
Indonesia, the floods hit Jakarta very often and cause many victims. Then, do you know the
process of how flood happens? Pay attention to the following explanation.

The process of natural flooding is preceded by rain which falls to the surface of the earth. Then
the rain water is absorbed by the ground surface and flows to the lower place. Once that
condition happens, evaporation and the water appear to the surface of the land. Flooding can
be disastrous for humans when floods happen in an area that people live because the water
carries along objects like houses, bridges, cars, furniture and even people.

On the other hand, the process of non natural flooding is usually caused by bad habits of
humans who do not care about the environment, such as littering that can make water flow
clogged. This makes the water deposited in landfills which gradually becomes more common.
When water reservoirs can no longer hold water discharge, the water then overflows out theland
and cause flooding.
