Try this Bee Enzyme Experiment: To show how bees' stomachs change nectar, get a cuo of "nectar" (milk) and add "enzymes" (instant pudding mix). Thickening: Stir for one minute to simulate bees fanning the nectar with their wings to evaporate water. Capping: Once the "honey" (pudding) has thickened, spray a layer of whipped cream on top to represent the beeswax seal used for storage.
