Yes, they do. Bees collect nectar from flowers, or sometimes honeydew from insects like aphids. Nectar and honeydew are mainly water, with various dissolved sugars and traces of other substances such as vitamins and minerals. Enzymes produced by glands in the bee's mouth start to break down the more complex sugars, such as sucrose into glucose and fructose. When the bee returns to the hive it regurgitates the nectar into a honeycomb cell. The heat generated by the bees within the hive together with the flow of air through the hive evaporate water from the nectar, turning it into honey. When the bees think it is ready they cover the cell with a cap of wax to preserve the honey.
