Not to be all “Well ackchyually” but most (maybe all?) of the moisture reduction happens after the nectar has been stored in the comb, but before it has been capped with wax for storage. So the bottom two panels should be switched
Also, if anyone cares, the term for the mouth-to-mouth passing of the nectar is trophallaxis.

Don’t forget the fact that this is all started by horny plants who only dress up nicely and offer sweets to allure innocent little bees because dirty as they are plants want bees to touch their genitalia to smear pollen all over their bodies as the little ones fly from plant to plant, exchanging pollen by means of a never ending bukkake.

If, Pollen = Semen
Than passing pollen 👄 to 👄 = snowballing
