After hatching from the egg, a bee larva is fed a secretion from a worker bee's hyperpharyngeal gland, called royal jelly. Queen larvae are fed on this for the whole of their larval live, but other larvae are fed this for three days after which they are fed a mixture of pollen with a little honey. This is sometimes called 'bee bread'.

Adult bees will eat a little pollen, but mainly live on nectar and honey.
