Yes, honeybees have a diet. The insects in question (Apis spp) prioritize certain food sources -- through the combination of digestive juices, nectar, or pollen -- at certain stages in their life cycles and natural histories. For example, larvae will devour brood food (or royal jelly if they will become queen bees), mature bees will eat beebread or honey, and queen bees will feed upon royal jelly.
