They are called honey bees because they collect nectar to make honey.
The biological name for honey is nectar. Honey is made by bees from the nectar they collect from flowers.
Bumblebees eat nectar and pollen made by flowers. The sugary nectar provides the bees with energy while the pollen provides them with protein, according to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. They make honey by chewing the pollen and mixing it with their saliva, according to Animal Diversity Web (ADW).
Male honey bees, known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen bee. Female worker bees are smaller, have stingers, and perform tasks such as collecting nectar, making honey, and caring for the hive.
Male honey bees, also known as drones, are larger than female honey bees, which are worker bees and queens. Drones do not have stingers and their main role is to mate with the queen. Female worker bees are smaller and have stingers for defense. Queens are the largest bees in the colony and are responsible for laying eggs.
They don't. Pollen is not used to make honey. Bees collect nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive it is regurgutated into comb cells. The heat of the hive, together with bees fanning the nectar cells with their wings, drive off water from the nectar. The result is honey.
All honey is made by bees, therefore it is natural. If it is not made by bees then it is not honey.
No, only Bees produce honey.
Honey is the sweet substance made by bees. Bees collect nectar from flowers, then store and process it in their hives, creating honey as a food source. Honey is widely used in cooking, baking, and as a natural sweetener.

Bees make beeswax and use it to form chambers where they store honey. There are no actual bee parts or honey in beeswax.
Honey
No. Honey is made in a honeycomb, out of pollen that bees bring back to the hive on their legs.
To those people who think honey is made from honey bees, you're wrong. In America, it might be made from honey bees but it actually is produced by hornets. The person who answered this is completely wrong. Although SOME species of hornet do produce honey, it's toxicology makes it poisonous to humans. Honey comes from HONEY BEES, hence the name honey bee. Hornets do not produce honey consumable by humans. Whether it be from European or African bees ( aka killer bees ) , the honey we consume comes from honey bees. Another interesting fact is that honey is the only product of an insect that humans consume.
The bees home is made of wax and honey. It is found in trees. Bees nourish youth in the hive. Honey is also made in the hive.
No, honey is not the saliva of bees. Honey is made from nectar collected by bees from flowers, which is then stored, mixed with enzymes, and dehydrated in the beehive to create the thick, sweet substance we know as honey.
Honey is made by bees, not trees.
Honey is not collected - it is made by bees from nectar, which is collected from flowers.
