    Correct Answer
    A. To make honey in the hive
    Explanation
    Honeybees use nectar to make honey in the hive. Nectar is a sweet liquid that is collected by bees from flowers. They store the nectar in their honey stomachs and bring it back to the hive. Once in the hive, the bees pass the nectar from bee to bee, adding enzymes to it. This process helps to break down the sugars in the nectar and transform it into honey. The honey is then stored in honeycomb cells and serves as a food source for the bees, especially during times when there is a scarcity of flowers or in winter when they cannot forage.
