HOW IT'S MADE: HONEY 2
How It's Made: Honey
The episode I selected is on how honey is made. The episode interested me since it
covers information regarding how one of the sweetest products I consume is made. I always
purchase honey due to the different benefits and uses it has in my house. The availability of
honey means that I can use it to enhance the flavor of a variety of food products. I was interested

person’s presence and prevent stinging. Honey wax is extracted by scraping off the wax caps.
Then, the remains are put into an extractor to extract the honey (Discovery UK., 2019). The
honey is then cooled, and stored in solid form awaiting orders. When being packaged, it is heated
to its liquid form, stored in jars, and sealed for sale.
In the honey production process, both direct and indirect costs are present. The salaries
paid to the workers in the factory are a direct labor cost. Additionally, the raw honey from the
hives containing wax is a direct material. The bees also provide direct labor since they continue
to produce the honey for collecting. The factory overhead includes all the costs and expenses
involved in the production (Bolfek, & Vujcic, 2009). These are the electricity utilized the
supplies and insurance. An indirect material utilized in this case is the flowers. Bees have to
access the nectar from these flowers for them to create the honey. Other factory overhead costs
include the amounts used to keep the hives effective, the cooling and heating systems. More so,
