How the honey bees carry the nectar or honey from the flowers?

We can see the pollen from flowers being carried to the hive by the honey bees - the pollen is stored in some transparent sacks attached to their legs. But where is the honey/ nectar stored while carrying from flowers to the hive?How the honey bees carry the nectar or honey from the flowers?
The nectar is carried back to the hive in a special 'stomach' ( not a true stomach of course as no digestion takes place).


The hairs covering a bee's body are very feathery and pollen clings to these hairs. From time to time the bee 'combs' off the pollen grains and stores them in a basket-like structure of spines in the back legs. All this is made easier because the pollen is sticky. Bees have been observed carrying pollen weighing 60% of their own bodies!How the honey bees carry the nectar or honey from the flowers?
well they have these weird tubes in the front that they suck the honey out the body of the bee must have a place because the bee has to have something in the body because if they have the weird tube then then why would it be the so thats my guess hope i helped.
The honey bee drinks the nectar from the flower and stores it in a specialized ';honey stomach'; for transport. So honey is basically bee vomit. Yummy.
honey is made after the bees get back to the hive it is not brought


back to the hive from the flowers
One whistles for a cab the other packs all the pollen in the boot.And off they go to the next flower
They have sacks on there legs...seriously
