Page 1Look at this spoon. Golden. Thick. Slow. Sweet. This is honey. But honey did not start this way.
Page 2It began as something thin and watery, hidden inside a flower. So how did thin flower juice become thick, golden honey? The answer is a long and busy journey.
Page 3Deep inside a flower is a sweet liquid called nectar. A honeybee lands and drinks it up with a long tongue shaped like a tiny straw.
