When she returns from foraging, a honey bee will regurgitate droplets of nectar and pass them to the hive bees who then take them up to the storage cells on the comb and put the nectar in. Other bees will fan the nectar with their wings, and this, together with the temperature in the hive (around 35C), evaporates water from the nectar, turning it into honey. The hive bees also clean pollen off the returning forager, and take the pollen from the pollen baskets on her hind legs, and store this in other cells on the comb.
Usually the bees who leave their hive are gatherers who collect pollen to make honey comb. Though the queen will leave to do her mating dance with the drone bees.
honey hence the name honey bees Honey bees also produce bees wax by converting honey.
There is only honey. The taste will vary according to the plants that the bee has been foraging on. After the beekeeper has extracted the honey, he may choose to produce runny honey, set honey, comb honey etc., but that is done by the beekeeper, not the bees.
Honey bees are afraid of smoke
The honeybee does not deposit honey. The bee deposits nectar collected from flowers, (regurgatated as liquid spit) into the comb. It sits on the bottom of the comb and the bees flutter their wings to evaporate the water out until it is the consistency of honey as we know it.

No, they store it in a comb to eat later.
Honey is not made by humans. Bees secrete it in their hive. Humans harvest it by smoking the bees to subdue them and then removing some of the honey comb from the hive.
If the bees are kept in a hive, they build their comb onto frames and fill the comb with honey. An extractor is used to get the honey out of the comb. An extractor spins the frames and forces the honey out of the comb and against the walls of the extractor. It can then be filtered and eaten. They also use harmless smoke on the bees so they stay out of the way and don't sting the beekeepers.

Beekeeping is the science of managing honey bees and promoting healthy hive conditions. Honey production involves extracting honey from honey comb and packaging the honey for human use.
No. only if there is honey in that comb. the wax its self will not make any difference. the honey is what becomes bad for humans.
Honey is not made from syrup and it is NOT made of beeswax! It is made from plants, by bees. The bees chew and swallow the juice and pollen from the plants and after it is digested they regurgitate it into the cells of a honey comb.
They have to keep it somewhere before they put it in jars and take it to the supermarket!
Bumble bees rarely re-use an old nest, but honey bees will certainly use a hive that has been used before, although the beekeeper will have probably have replaced the old comb with new comb foundation for the bees to draw out new comb.
