Best Answer

Bees like honey and nectar even though they need nectar in order to produce honey. Floral nectar is rich in the sucrose that gives bees energy to fly from flower to flower and transport nectar and pollen loads back to the hive or nest. Back at the hive or nest, the bee uses the enzyme invertase to transform nectar into dextrose- and laevulose-rich solutions that we know as carbohydrate-rich honey.
