People got used to the fact that animals, bird and fish are the only carnivorous species on Earth. In real certain plants can associated with this group of predatory natural beings. Sometimes they even referred to as miracles of Mother Nature. Specifically, the cause of their existence is usually related to the environment plants are distributed in; lack of certain components in the ground preconditioned necessity of hunting and catching flash species, including insects or small animals. There are 450 species of carnivorous plants belonging to 6 families, which can be found all over the world in many different habitats.

The first step of the process of making honey is to gather nectar from a large variety of flowers and plants, mostly during summer months. The worker bees are sexually immature females that work intensely to visit the flowers (fruit tree blossoms, dandelions, clovers) and then carry the load of nectar to the bee hive and this strenuous effort costs them their lives, because they live for only six weeks. Plant nectar is a liquid incorporating 80% water, natural complex sugars ( mostly sucrose) and essential amino-acids, including arginine, proline, alanine, isoleucine, serine, valine and glycine. Different kinds of nectar are the primary source used by bees to make honey.After the worker bees have collected the nectars from 150 to 1500 various flowers and stored in their special honey stomach ( separated through a valve from their digestive stomach) they return with their load of nectar to their beehive in order to start the production of honey. They only return when their specialized stomach is full, practically weighing as much as the bee and containing 70 mg of nectars. The field honeybees which have gathered the nectars transfer their load to other hive bees using their tubular, straw-like mouthparts known as proboscis.
