Is a bee finding a field of flowers a instinct?
No. Forager bees leave the hive and fly off in all directions looking for a good supply of nectar (or pollen). When a bee finds a good supply, it loads up with nectar or pollen and returns to the hive. It then does what is known as a 'waggle dance' to tell the other bees in the hive how far and in what direction they will have to fly to get to the source of the nectar or pollen.
How do honey bees get food?
Worker bees leave the hive and go and find flowers. They collect the nectar and pollen from these flowers and return to the hive with this in their stomachs and on their legs. This is then regurgitated into storage compartments in the hive and turned into honey. The bee colony lives on this honey.
Where do honey bees prepare honey from nectar?
The hive bodies.
Honey bees collect?
The worker bees go out to collect pollen and nectar which they bring back to the Hive for food and to make honey. Honey bees eat honey and pollen as their primary food, but they also gather liquids and juices from plant and fruit exudates. When honey bees come across insects that secrete honeydew, they gather the liquid and store it as honey. When pollen, nectar, or honeydew aren't available, honey bees can collect and store plant spores and dusty animal feed as well.
What is a Throng honey bees?

How do bees deposit honey into hive?
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.
How do honey bees gather and carry home rector?
Honey bees gather nectar by visiting flowers and consuming it using their proboscis. Once their honey stomach is filled, they carry the nectar back to the hive in a special pouch located inside their bodies called the honey stomach or crop.
