Best Answer

Bees collect nectar from flowers to make honey in a bee hive. They collect the nectar by sucking with their proboscis and having nectar stuck to the hair on their legs. The bee goes to different flowers to collect honey they remember the flower and where they last got the nectar. But; forget what the plant was like such as one that tries to trap the insect in a pool of sticky liquid so that it dies but, most are able to get out.

It is the food they will eat in the winter when they don't fly out of their hive as their are no flowers with pollen for them to collect, it also feeds the larvae.
