Exercise 5: Grammar & Vocabulary
The illustration explains the process of producing honey
in beehives.
Overall, there are seven main stages in this process,
from the honey bees building a hive to the collection and use
of the honey.
Firstly, the bees build a dome-shaped or box-like hive in
which to live. The hive contains many individually-built units,
called cells. Next, the bees leave the hive to search for
flowers. Bees are attracted to flowers by their scent, and they
collect nectar, a sticky, sugary substance, from each flower
that they visit. This substance is central/crucial/vital/key to the
production of honey.
When the bees return to the hive, the nectar is deposited
into the cells. Once this is done, the nectar is cooled down by
the movement of air created by the flapping of the bees’
wings, which also causes the nectar to lose its water content.
Finally, the honey is left as the product of the whole process
and can be enjoyed as a deliciously sweet treat.

This diagram presents the process by which bees make
honey.
There are seven key stages in this process, beginning
with the honey bees building a hive and concluding with the
collection and use of the honey.
Firstly, the bees build a dome-shaped or box-like
structure, called a hive, in which to live. It consists of many
individually-built units, called cells. Then, the bees leave the
hive to search for flowers. They are attracted to flowers by
their scent, and, as a result, they collect nectar, a sticky,
sugary substance, from each flower they visit. It is this
substance that forms the basis of honey production.
When the bees return to the hive, the nectar is deposited
into the cells. Next, the nectar is cooled down by the air
movement created by the flapping of the bees’ wings, which
also causes the nectar cells to lose their water content.
Finally, the honey is left as the product of the whole process
and can be enjoyed as a deliciously sweet treat.
