Technically I think they do eat nectar but they turn it into honey in their stomachs. They then spit it back up to eat then or store in the cell walls to eat in the long winters. Hope this helps!!!

Honey bees feed on pollen and honey. They make the honey out of flower nectar that they collect by sucking it out of flowers; they then store it in a special storage stomach and bring it back to the hive. There they pass it over to other worker bees, who make it into honey by mixing it with enzymes as they chew it. They spread the treated nectar into the honeycombs, and as the water evaporates from it, it becomes thick. When it is thick enough, they seal off the honeycomb cells with wax and store the honey until they need it.
To eat and to make honey
Honey
Bees take pollen to make honey.
Honeybees collect sweet nectar from flowers and bring it back to their hives. There it is stored for future use, because its sugar provides honeybees with the energy they need. The nectar is stored as honey, which is a thick, concentrated form of nectar that has been converted in the bees' digestive tracts. Honey is stored in little compartments or cells in the hive, which the bees seal over with beeswax which they also produce. We call this honey-filled wax honeycomb. Beekeepers take honeycomb from the hive (leaving enough behind for the bees), using the wax for candle making and the honey to sweeten all kinds of foods.they collect pollen.
Bees do have mouths. The bees mouth consists of mandibles and a proboscis. They use the mouth parts to chew up food and also to suck up nectar.
Foraging bees will fly up to three miles (five kilometres) from the hive to find sources of nectar, but when nectar is not available bees will feed on their stored honey. A bee colony will normally store more than enough honey during the summer to see them through the following winter. When a beekeeper takes honey from the hive, he will make sure the bees survive the winter by providing sugar syrup for them to feed on.
Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.
Nectar.It comes from flowers.Most bees like honeysuckle nectar.
Yes, they are. If you leave honey out with bees around they will find it and feed.
If you might have noticed a recent answer, which was pollen, that answer is wrong. Bees collect nectar, which they turn into honey. pollen sticks to their legs and falls onto other flowers. this is called pollination.
No, bees don't make flowers die .Bees use flowers pulp to make honey.
Bees use nectar from flowers to produce honey, the honey badger then feed on the honey that the bees produce.
YES! They have a lot of nectar, because the "head" of a sunflower is made up of 4,000 tiny flowers.
Yes, bees have a proboscis, which acts as their tongue. It is a long, tube-like structure that they use to collect nectar from flowers.
no actually butterflys do it too. Moths do it. pretty much every insect or bug does, BUT only bees use it to make honey
Pollinating flowers and producing honey are the jobs that honey bees do.Specifically, the insects in question (Apis spp) drink the nectar of certain herbaceous and wood plants. In the process, they move pollen around so that flowers can reproduce. They use the nectar to make honey when they return to the hive.
Male bees use nectar for food. Female bees use pollen for feeding the larvae, and nectar and pollen for own food.
Bees are attracted to most plants and trees as a source of nectar. Magnolias do not produce nectar, instead have pollen enriched with proteins, which bees use as food. The magnolia flowers release a sugary scent that attracts the bees.
No, they use nectar.
