Honey is sweet, thick sugary solution made by bees...

Question

Honey is sweet, thick sugary solution made by bees. The composition of honey consists of varying proportions of fructose, glucose, water, oil and special enzymes produced by bees (glucose and fructose are types of sugar).

The first step in making honey begins when field bees fly from flower to flower collecting the sweet juices or nectar that a flower provides. With their tongues, the field bees suck out the nectar and store it in sacs within their body. After filling their sacs with these sweet juices, the field bees fly back to their bee hive and regurgitate the stored nectar into the mouths of house bees.

These house bees are assigned the job of adding enzymes from their bodies to the nectar. The enzymes cause the water in the nectar to evaporate thereby turning the nectar into honey. Lastly, the nectar is stored in a cell of a honeycomb. Overtime, the nectar ripens and becomes honey.

What is the function of the house bees' enzymes?

A. To add them to the nectar.
B. To give water to the nectar.
C. To make the nectar wet.
D. To evaporate the water in the nectar.
E. To ripen the nectar.
