Do Honey Bees Have Two Stomachs?

Description
Bees have two stomachs - one stomach for eating and the other special stomach is for storing nectar collected from flowers or water so that they can carry it back to their hive.

The bee sucks and collects the nectar from flowers using its long proboscis and store it in its special stomach or "honey stomach" separate from its true stomach for digestion. It then secretes enzymes into the nectar, converting it into honey that has healing properties.

Honey is made and stored in a special, exclusive, and relatively big reservoir!
