00:00Check out this little guy drinking his nectar.
00:04And as he's doing that, he's pollinating the flowers.
00:08Each flower has a tiny bit of nectar.
00:11And so bees have to visit thousands of flowers before they go back to the hive.
00:22I'm here near my home in Hilton, South Africa, exploring how bees really work.
00:30Look at all these amazing products that bees make besides honey.
00:40Hand cream, foot cream, beeswax soap.
00:46Mmm, smells so good.
00:58Hey, group, how are you doing?
00:59Hello, Mr. Matt, how are you?
01:01I'm good, thank you.
01:01Are you enjoying the shop?
01:02Yes, thank you, lots.
01:04That's great.

01:30Is honey actually bee vomit?
01:32Yes, it is.
01:33And then what you have there, the little green part, that's the bee's actual digestive stomach.
01:37And then on its legs, they actually have pollen sacs, and that's where they store their pollen to take into the hive.
01:43Guys, don't you think this is so cool?
01:46And right at the end there, we have the poison sac.
01:50People are very scared of the poison sac because bees often sting people when they're trying to protect something.
01:54Absolutely, so...
01:56People are at the end of the manger and the billions are
