Do bees reuse the same hive?

How do bees ferry water back to the hive?
They carry it in the honey crop, in the same way as nectar. They won't forage for nectar and water on the same trip.
Are all bees the same color?
No, honey contains some of the flavour compounds from the flowers from which the bees collected the nectar, so honeys from different sources have different flavours. Honey that you buy from your local supermarket has been blended and heat treated, so has lost most of the volatile flavour components. If you want to try real honey, get it from a beekeeper.

Why are honey possums called honey possums?
The honey possum's name comes from the fact that it is nectarvorious meaning that it only eats nectar from flowers. Nectar is somewhat similar to honey in that it is sweet and it's about the same color as honey.
Are there any differences in honey from wild honey bees compared to domestic honey bees?
Bees, be they wild or domestic, produce honey in the same manor. Nectar is gathered, returned to hive, deposited in the comb, water is evaporated and the comb is sealed. The difference is the source of the nectar. Bee keepers will provide their hives for pollination and will label the honey based on the crop being pollinated. For example: If a hive is intended to pollinate an orange grove the honey would be marketted as orange blossom honey and would have citrus notes as expected. Wild hives will gather nectar from nearby flowers. So the honey may be comprised of a more diverse supply of nectar. This will create a more complex flavor.
What three types of bee's live in a hive?

Is raw honey and buckwheat the same?

Why does a beehive have the smell of vinegar?
I just read somewhere that goldenrod honey or aster honey will make it smell like vinegar. We have the same thing noe and our fields are full of goldenrod...and asters. They say the honey is good though, so nothing to worry about. We are going to extract that hive separate, will try to update results.
