The worker bees divide up their jobs based on age, so the youngest bees are put straight to work, cleaning up the hive, and feeding larvae. The ones building comb are about two weeks old and they don't even begin to gather nectar until they're at least three weeks old, but if an older bee starts even doing the job of a younger bee, its brain stops aging, and even starts behaving like a younger brain.

Natural spices are added to bring out the floral aftertaste, and a blend of yeast normally used in wine-making feeds on the honey sugar gradually turning it into alcohol. As the honey ferments, the hibiscus flower color is transferred into the mead, which is pumped into large plastic tanks and set for about five and a half weeks. The concoction is now like a fine wine, but it needs to mature to draw out the distinctive flavors. The answer is to age it in oak barrels. These are reused, so the wood is already seasoned with Mead. The liquid sits in them from anywhere from three months to two years.
